Marie of Guise: Regent of Scotland (Tudor Times Insights (Profile) Book 6) Kindle Edition

3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

Marie of Guise was whisked from a quiet childhood in a convent to an arranged marriage with a French Prince du Sang at the instigation of Francois I. Widowed within three years, she was obliged to marry again, this time to the widowed James V of Scotland (her other choice being Henry VIII - whom she hastily refused!) Carried off to Scotland, leaving her three-year old son behind, she quickly became an important patron of arts and culture at the Scottish court. Widowed again, 31 year old Marie was left to fight a valiant battle to protect not only the inheritance, but also the life, of her baby daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots. For eighteen years, Marie strove to keep Scotland safe for her daughter, negotiating the dangerous currents of the Reformation and the struggle between France and England to control Scotland.

    Well written but a couple of typos. Not worth it though even as a plain intro to Marie of Guise. No deep insights to the women just facts you could have read for free on Wikipedia.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gut verfasst
    Reviewed in Germany on October 31, 2017
    Kurz, informativ und auf den Punkt gebracht. Kein Wort zuviel und keins zu wenig. Und dabei sehr unterhaltsam verfasst. Brauche es als Nachschlagewerk für eine Arbeit über Marie de Guise. Kein besseres Buch gefunden als dies!

    4.0 out of 5 stars but some useful information from presumably a reliable source
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2016
    A bit thinner than I imagined, but some useful information from presumably a reliable source.
