Scotland's history is dramatic, violent and bloody. Being England's northern neighbour has never been easy. Scotland's queens have had to deal with war, murder, imprisonment, political rivalries and open betrayal. They have loved and lost, raised kings and queens, ruled and died for Scotland. From St Margaret, who became one of the patron saints of Scotland, to Elizabeth de Burgh and the dramatic story of the Scottish Wars of Independence, to the love story and tragedy of Joan Beaufort, to Margaret of Denmark and the dawn of the Renaissance, Scotland's Medieval Queens have seen it all. This is the story of Scotland through their eyes. AUTHOR: Sharon Bennett Connolly is the best-selling author of several non-fiction history books.
