Inhaltsangabe
A fascinating and revealing new biography of Mary Queen of Scots in captivity.
For almost two decades before her execution at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots was a prisoner. From her chambers, she wrote countless letters, many encrypted using complex ciphers to prevent her communications from being intercepted. In this way, she used language to exert her will and her influence, even while incarcerated.
More than 400 years after Mary’s death, the discovery of further encoded letters has led to renewed interest in the breadth of her encrypted correspondence in captivity.
In Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots, historian and expert on Mary’s correspondence Dr Jade Scott draws on hundreds of Mary’s letters and those sent to her, to paint a vivid portrait of one of history’s most compelling figures. She interrogates Mary’s complex relationships with friends and enemies throughout her imprisonment, illuminating her strategic expertise and bringing Mary’s captivity to life as never before.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. During almost two decades of imprisonment Mary, Queen of Scots, was a prolific correspondent, so that several thousand letters to and from her still survive, including many written using complex ciphers. That secret correspondence, some of it only recently rediscovered and decrypted, is the focus of this book, which reveals what Mary's captivity was really like and how she maintained links with family and supporters even when under intense surveillance.
