Mary Queen of Scots

About this movie

Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Academy Award® nominee Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16, widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, she also has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I (Academy Award® nominee Margot Robbie), who rules as the Queen of England. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Rivals in power and in love, the two Queens make very different choices about marriage and children. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens–driving them apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.

Ratings and reviews

Mary never tried to kill Elizabeth! A note was forged by rome to fool Elizabeth in order for Mary to be found guilty of treason, there by giving Spain reason from Rome to invade England and remove Elizabeth, making way for the king of Spains daughter to be sole ruler. Then without opposition Rome would remove (ALL) religious opposition to Rome,,, otherwise slaughter. And that's the truth. It took over ten years to build the Spanish fleet, the game was set when the first three was felled.

this film takes sone liberties with the history but there arent many historical dramas that actually don't. if you want historical accuracy the simon schammer is your man(he's great too) i enjoyed this far more than i thought i would. Full disclosure - really like Margot Robbie.

what's with the black guy and the Asian chick in Elizabethan court not historically accurate. I wonder what would be the reason for doing such a thing, total turn off seen the trailer that was enough
