Mary of Guise in Scotland, 1548-1560: A Political Study | Pamela E. Ritchie | Tuckwell Press | 2004 | Mary of Guise (1515-60) was from the powerful French family of Guise and she married the Scottish King James V in 1538. James died in 1542 and Mary became Regent for her daughter, the future Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary was a skilled political operator, using her position to further French interests at a time when England also had designs on Scotland. Her intrigues involved using anti-English feelings to bolster her position and that of her daughter (who later married the French dauphin). She also had to contend with the change in English ruler (when Elizabeth I became queen) and the increasing strength of the Protestants, ably egged on by John Knox. This is the story of her life in Scotland. | 1410 |
