Mary Stuart: A Narrative Of The First Eighteen Years Of Her Life (1886) - Paperback

Mary Stuart: A Narrative Of The First Eighteen Years Of Her Life is a historical biography written by Joseph Stevenson, first published in 1886. The book tells the story of Mary Stuart's early life, from her birth to her marriage to Francis II of France. Mary Stuart was born in Scotland in 1542, and was the daughter of King James V. Her father died when she was just six days old, and she was crowned Queen of Scotland at just nine months old. Mary was sent to France at the age of five to be raised in the French court, where she was educated and trained in courtly manners. The book details Mary's life in France, her marriage to Francis II, and her return to Scotland after Francis's death. It also covers the political and religious turmoil of the time, including the Protestant Reformation and the conflict between England and Scotland. Stevenson's biography is based on historical records and his own research, and provides a detailed and engaging account of Mary Stuart's early years. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history, the Tudor era, or the life of Mary Queen of Scots.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
