For almost two decades before her execution at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587, Mary Queen of Scots was a prisoner. From her chambers, she wrote countless letters, many encrypted using complex ciphers to prevent her communications from being intercepted. In this way, she used language to exert her will and influence events.
Jade Scott, a historian and expert on Mary's correspondence, explores the hundreds of letters Mary sent during her prison years to reveal how she navigated surveillance and suspicion. In Captive Queen she interrogates Mary's complex relationships with friends and enemies throughout her long imprisonment, illuminating her strategic expertise, and bringing Mary's captivity to life like never before.
