Scottish Queens - The Queens and Consorts Who Shaped the Nation

The lives of the Scottish queens, both those who ruled in their own right, and also the consorts, have largely been neglected in conventional history books. From Lady Macbeth to Anne of Denmark, this collection of mini-biographies reveals the fascinating lives of these unusual women, who all found themselves at the helm of a kingdom.
