Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Queen of Scots

The Queen of France at sixteen and a widow at eighteen. She was forced to marry again, because a woman alone could not achieve anything in the 16th century. But Maria Stewart decided to do something completely different - she returned to her native Scotland to take the throne for herself. At the same time, the king died in England, and the throne went to Elizabeth I. The woman now owns all of England and Scotland, and is not going to give power to her cousin. How two women had such power in a country where there was male supremacy everywhere is a big mystery. Their struggle for the throne went down in history because one of them gave even her head for this power.
