- She was Queen of Scotland and of France, and a possible Queen of England; she was involved in a series of mysterious deaths; in the end she lost her head... But what was life really like for Mary, Queen of Scots? Put on your ruff and step into the sixteenth century for a unique glimpse into the dramatic life of the infamous queen.

Take a journey through time and find out: -- Why did Mary become Queen of Scots when she was just six days old? -- What exotic animals lived with the young queen? -- How did Mary escape from Lochleven Castle? -- Why did Mary's cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, arrange her beheading?
