Mary of Scotland

Fictionalized account of Mary, Queen of Scots from her return to Scotland in 1561 to her execution in 1587. Her return is not welcomed by all of the Scottish Lords, and many are suspicious of her Catholic religion and her private secretary, Rizzio. She does get support from some quarters, including Lord Bothwell with whom she falls in love. Her Council, however, forces her to marry her foppish cousin Lord Darnley, and she later gives birth to a son, James. She is eventually forced out and seeks refuge with England's Queen Elizabeth only to find that she is her prisoner. After many years, she is executed.
