One of the most controversial characters of Elizabethan era was Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth's second cousin once removed. Mary was the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's sister, which made Mary a claimant to the English Crown as well. Moreover, her Catholicism made Mary the true and rightful Queen of England in the eyes of many Catholics and The Vatican. Mary's first marriage to the Dauphin of France had made her the queen consort of France, but his early death and their lack of issue had made it untenable for Mary Stuart to remain in France. Upon returning to Scotland, she married her cousin and gave birth to James VI. Mary Stuart, exhorted by her Catholic supporters, had claimed Elizabeth's crown. Eventually she was imprisoned for nearly two decades and subsequently executed for plotting against the Queen, actions that brought about scorn for centuries.

Mystery of Mary Stuart was not intended to be a defense of Mary's innocence, but to show how the whole problem was affected by the discovery of the Lennox Papers, which permit a behind-the-scenes look at how her prosecutors, especially the Earl of Lennox, the father of her murdered husband got up their case. Both Volume I and II of The Mystery of Mary Stuart are contained in this edition.
