CAPTIVE QUEEN : the decrypted history of mary, queen of scots
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 Captive Queen 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
