Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary Stuart is known to many as Mary Queen of Scots, the famous Queen who took over the throne at just six days old. This bizarre reality happened as her father died shortly after her birth, and she was the sole heir to the throne. However, her mother sent her to grow up in the French Court in France, where she returned in 1559. Her reign was between 1542-1567.

But that was not all, Wilkinson also used biographical information to aid in removing most of the “popular history” which is full of a lot of folklore and tall tales, which often twist the truth.
