Synopsis: Handsome accomplished and charming Henry Stuart Lord Darnley staked his claim to the English throne by marrying Mary Stuart who herself claimed to be the Queen of England. It was not long before Mary discovered that her new husband was interested only in securing sovereign power for himself. Then on February 10 1567 an explosion at his lodgings left Darnley dead; the intrigue thickened after it was discovered that he had apparently been suffocated before the blast. After an exhaustive reevaluation of the source material Alison Weir has come up with a solution to this enduring mystery. Employing her gift for vivid characterization and gripping storytelling Weir has written one of her most engaging excursions yet into Britain's bloodstained power-obsessed past. Publishers Weekly: Mary Queen of Scots 1542-1587 has for centuries fascinated historians and the general public her life the stuff of Hollywood myth involving murder rape adultery abdication imprisonment and execution. In bestselling historian Weir's Henry VIII etc. able hands we see the young Catholic queen ruling over Protestant Scotland and a group of unruly nobles. Mary's second husband Lord Darnley participated in the 1566 murder of Mary's favorite adviser David Rizzio after which Mary and Lord Darnley became estranged. Darnley himself was murdered the next year and some historians have claimed that Mary plotted his death so she could marry her lover Bothwell. But Weir argues convincingly that the evidence against Mary is fraudulent part of a coverup initiated by rebellious lords. Weir tells how and why Darnley was killed and shockingly reveals that Bothwell whom Mary did marry was one of the murderers. Mary's lords took up arms against her and she was forced to abdicate fleeing to England where she expected her cousin Queen Elizabeth to help her regain her throne. Instead Mary was held captive for 16 years and finally beheaded for plotting Elizabeth's assassination. Mary could not hope for a better advocate than Weir who exhaustively evaluates the evidence against her and finds it lacking. Mary's ultimate sin according to Weir was not murder but consistently "poor judgment" especially in choosing men. This is entertaining popular history that will satisfy fans of Weir's previous bestsellers. 16 pages of color illus. Biography: Alison Weir is the author of four other books on English history including Eleanor of Aquitaine. She lives outside London with her husband and two children. Ballantine Books Hardcover‎

‎Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley‎

‎London United Kingdom: Jonathan Cape Ltd 2003. New book 621 pages. The prolific Scottish historian Alison Weir in her new book Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley grapples painstakingly with a mystery that has dogged history for centuries. At midnight on February 9 1567 a violent explosion ripped apart Kirk o'Field the Edinburgh residence of Lord Darnley the 20-year-old King and second husband of Mary Queen of Scots. His unmarked body was found lying under a tree together with that of his valet. The cause of his death and its perpetrators have remained obscured since that night though Mary was a prime suspect in her husband's murder. Her apparent apathy regarding the murder investigation was regarded with deep suspicion but more incriminating were the infamous "Casket" letters said to have been written by her to her lover Lord Bothwell the supposed architect of Darnley's assassination. Yet if Mary had good reasons for wanting her Catholic husband dead then so had much of Scottish nobility. Using contemporary evidence Weir argues exhaustively that the letters could have been the work of forgers employed by Protestant lords "laying snares for the queen". Sympathetic to Elizabeth I intent on justifying Mary's subsequent imprisonment and forcing her abdication the prospect of a young foreign Catholic queen unversed in diplomacy refusing a Protestant alliance through marriage was anathema to the Scottish lords. Weir's book claims that Mary's fate was sealed as much by the country of which she was monarch as by Elizabethan England. Trade Paperback. As New. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.
