It was an enjoyable read overall, which fans of history and general readers alike will enjoy and it does much to bring Marie de Guise’s fascinating history to life, giving her the recognition as a ruler she deserves.

This is such a fantastic book because it offers a glimpse of royal, personal and ecclesiastical seals of the kings and queens of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom. The best part of this book are the stunning, high-quality photographs so you don't have to imagine what these seals looked like. The book was published in association with the National Archives, so you can admire these beauties at home, just by looking at them! I loved it.

Incredibly well-written and researched. A very in-depth look at Mary Queen of Scots' Secretary William Maitland. I found it fascinating and very interesting. I highly recommend it to any history buffs.

Lavishly illustrated, with around 200 colour photographs, it's the sort of book you would be happy to leave on a coffee table for guests to glance through – and if you have any interest at all in history, you'll enjoy dipping into it yourself.

This is fascinating. A study of four women with different lives but some things in common, including the repressive treatment of women by society. Obviously well researched, this book bridged the gap between academia and a simply entertaining read. The four case studies are distinct but taken together give a social history of the time.
