Queens

Mary Stuart returns to Scotland as its queen, confronting a kingdom divided by both religious strife and quarrelling nobles.

The feud between Elizabeth and Mary escalates, while they are both surrounded by fake allies.

Mary realises she made a huge mistake when she married Lord Darnley, but her pregnancy makes it impossible for the marriage to be annulled.

Mary's marriage is on the rocks; the birth of Mary's son throws the fate of both England and Europe into chaos; worried about the rising tide of Protestantism, King Phillip unleashes the force of the Spanish Inquisition on his subjects.

King Philip II expands his war on Protestantism; a soothsayer tells Elizabeth to expect violence and bloodshed in Scotland.

Mary's army has deserted her; the invaders offer Mary a proposal from Elizabeth; Bothwell flees into exile; the pressure on Elizabeth intensifies; Mary and her supporters make a daring move.
