Queen Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots were two of recorded history's most significant, most legendary rivals-although they never met.
Elizabeth was the childless “virgin” queen in one castle: bawdy, brilliant, tactical and cynical. On the other hand, Mary is feminine, charming, romantic and reckless.
Their decades-long battle over the English crown would end with Mary’s beheading at Fotheringhay Castle-with Elizabeth’s blessing-in 1587.
But the two cousins’ tortured relationship was determined long before, during childhoods, so dissimilar and defining that they would inform both Queens’ characters-and seal Mary’s tragic fate.
The rivalry between the two queens was marked by imprisonment, escape and execution.
