England and Scotland in the 1500s. 

Two famous queens - Mary, the Catholic Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I, the Protestant Queen of England. 

It was an exciting and a dangerous time to be alive, and to be a queen. 

Mary was Queen of Scotland when she was one week old. At sixteen, she was also Queen of France. She was tall and beautiful, with red-gold hair. Many men loved her and died for her. But she also had many enemies - men who said: 'The death of Mary is the life of Elizabeth.'

1561年,苏格兰还是个未开化的国家。当年轻的苏格兰女王——玛丽(Mary, Queen of Scots)从法国回到苏格兰时,起初, 她的人民非常高兴见到她。

玛丽女王的丈夫——法国国王死了,现在,她需要一个新的丈夫。可是玛丽是个天主教徒(Catholic),而当时大多数的苏格兰人都是新教徒(Protestant)。

当时的英格兰女王——伊丽莎白一世(Elizabeth I, Queen of England)也是位新教徒(Protestant)。在那个年代,人们都乐于为他们自己的教会而战,并不惜献出生命。

年轻的玛丽女王该嫁给谁呢?谁是她的朋友,谁是她的敌人?玛丽既美丽又聪明,她热爱生活,喜欢冒险,也热爱人民。或许,她爱的人太多了。人们说她“又狂又坏,认识她是危险的”。但那是真的吗?

1587 年,玛丽坐在英格兰的福瑟临黑城堡(Fortheringhay Castle)里,疲惫又忧伤。现在她是伊丽莎白女王的囚徒,不久将被送上断头台。她拿起笔开始给她的儿子詹姆斯——现在的苏格兰国王写信。这就是她一生的故事......
