Description

Reine d'Ecosse à l'âge de six jours, en 1542, puis reine de France à dix-sept ans par son mariage avec François II, Marie Stuart est un des personnages les plus romanesques de l'histoire. Veuve en 1560, elle rentre en Ecosse et épouse lord Darnley. Déçue par ce mariage, elle devient la maîtresse du comte de Bothwell. Lorsque ce dernier assassine Darnley, l'horreur est telle qu'elle doit se réfugier auprès de sa rivale, Elisabeth 1re reine d'Angleterre. Celle-ci la retiendra vingt ans captive, avant de la faire condamner à mort. Son courage devant le supplice impressionnera les témoins, au point de métamorphoser celle que l'on disait une criminelle en une martyre de la foi catholique... Sur cette figure fascinante et controversée de l'histoire britannique, le biographe de Marie-Antoinette et romancier de Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme a mené une enquête rigoureuse, se livrant à une critique serrée des documents et des témoignages. Ce récit passionné nous la restitue avec ses ombres et ses lumières, ses faiblesses et sa grandeur.
