Summary "Mary Queen of Scots, 1542-1587" by Robert S. Rait is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and reign of Mary Stuart, focusing particularly on her turbulent years in Scotland as well as her personal and political challenges. By examining contemporary documents and writings, Rait offers insights into the complex relationship between Scotland and England, alongside the religious strife of the time. At the start of the work, the author outlines the scope and selection of materials that provide context for understanding Mary’s life after her return from France in 1561. The opening chapters cover significant events, such as Mary’s childhood, her marriage to the Dauphin Francis of France, and the political difficulties she faced upon her return home, including the Protestant Reformation’s impact and her relationship with both the French and English crowns. The narrative sets the stage for understanding the power struggles, intrigue, and personal conflicts that characterized the reign of one of history's most famous queens.
