Whilst Mary, Queen of Scots is a familiar historical figure her mother, Marie de Guise, is relatively unknown.
The historian and blogger Melanie Clegg delves into the relationship de Guise had with her French family, The Lorraines, with imaginative fervour which sees this lively biography often stray into the realms of fiction.
Scourge of Henry VIII – The Life of Marie de Guise, by Melanie Clegg, pubished by Pen and Sword History, £19.99.
