Mary, Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots, teenage wife to the king of France, returns to Scotland after her husband's death. Elizabeth Tudor, believing her cousin Mary and her Roman Catholic beliefs to be a political threat, creates romantic dilemmas to distract her. Mary's subsequent marriage to Lord Darnley, her relationship with courtier David Riccio, and a third marriage to Lord Bothwell lead to her abdication and exile.
