Mary Queen of Scots
Historical events seem to continue through more facts as the story tells about the troubled life of Mary Stewart's charismatic character. This historical story began with Mari, who was the queen of France at the age of 16, where she wanted to return to her homeland in Scotland to regain her rightful throne. Perhaps at that time it will be very difficult because Scotland and England fall under Elizabeth I. Both Mary and Elizabeth seem to look at each other in a state of fear and magic.
