Mary was executed at Fotheringhay Castle on February 9, I was in the palace last month. You actually walk up the narrow spiral staircase to the bedchamber. Just stunning to be in the actual space where it all went down. Have been intrigued by this story for ages; to be in the space was just thrilling. If you can make it, definitely go to the palace. Definitely worthing doing it.

Oh yes, I did the same tour. It is very atmospheric and you can imagine exactly what happened there. Saw the movie last night with Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson. I have known the story of Rizzio since my Primary School history lessons but it is good to have it narrated in all its grisly and unsavoury detail in this article.
I was taken on a visit to Holyroodhouse many years ago and I think there may be a brass plate on the floor indicating the spot where the murder took place. What a dramatic and awful story, Susan, and well told! Only one person knew the answer to so many questions — that is why Mary holds such an allure, I think! I must add that I am quite incomputerate and cross my fingers that this will get to you. There is evidence of her written ability in her translations into English although I have none indicating her ability to compose in the language.
I seek confirmation of a mention that Erasmus enjoyed her conversation. Do you evidence of that or any other Latin conversation?

Hi brennusgll, You did reach me! I can only assume Margaret spoke Latin as well as wrote it but have no firm evidence of that. John Guy did a tremendous job and he might have some confirmation in the book or the notes. Reblogged this on History's Untold Treasures and commented: Reblogged this on Marie Macpherson. Seems to me that when I visited Holyroodhouse there were still bloodstains on the floor of the small room where the murder took place.
