The Marriage that Destroyed Mary Stuart
Mary, Queen of Scots, is seeking a marriage to strengthen her claim to the English throne. Her cousin Lord Darnley appears to check all the boxes: He comes from a powerful Scottish family, has a line in the English succession, and seems like someone she can manage. But the marriage is deeply unpopular. And after she becomes pregnant, Mary realizes her husband is not the man she thought he was.
