She was crowned at six days old and executed at 44. In this episode, we tell the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. Three marriages, endless scandal, and a rivalry with Elizabeth I that did not end well.

We follow her from the French court to a divided Scotland, through betrayal, imprisonment, and the choices that shaped her fate. We also look at her newly decoded secret letters, which show a woman still plotting, thinking, and refusing to fade quietly.

Plus, a round of Rumour Has It where we separate the myths from the truth.
