Discover the fascinating story of Mary’s years in captivity in and around Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and South Notts. This talk will reveal a story not found in any history book. So follow Mary on her journey as a captive Queen around Carlisle, Castle Bolton, Tutbury, Wingfield Manor, Chatsworth, Sheffield Castle and Manor Lodge, Buxton and Worksop Manor. Rather than the benign period portrayed by her biographers, the talk conveys intrigue, passion, plots and escape attempts.
The talk is now be supported by the eagerly awaited biography written by David. After years of painstaking research at Sheffield and Chatsworth Archives, this will update and create a detailed account of Mary’s years in confinement in England culminating in the tragedy at Fotheringhay. Find out exactly what did happen to Mary in captivity and the answers to the three relevant questions arising which are why, where, and when.
The Book will be on sale at each talk followed, of course, by a book signing.
