Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., March 08, 2022

When Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland and France, returned to her native land in 1561 after the death of her husband François II, it was the beginning of the descent into hell.

Catholic sovereign despised by her Protestant subjects, wife humiliated by her authoritarian second husband Lord Darnley, and political enemy number 1 of the Queen of England Elizabeth I, Mary Stuart is threatened from all sides.

Her fate already seems sealed… In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast “At the heart of History”, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts the tragic fate of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland. 

The second marriage of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland and France, with Lord Darnley quickly turns into a nightmare.

After he has savagely had his favorite assassinated in front of her, Marie, pregnant, begins an affair with Bothwell, Grand Admiral.

But in Scotland, revolt is brewing, and shortly after the birth of her son Jacques and the death of Lord Darnley, Marie Stuart is taken captive by the insurgents… In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast “At the heart of History”, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach tells the story of the end of the life of Marie Stuart, queen and martyr.
