I did not know much about Queen Mary I, England‘s first female monarch. Weir does a good job of taking us from her happy childhood through the torment of being separated from her mother and on through her reign which ultimately is considered a failure. She had strength but was often over run by doubts, easily influenced in some things and staunch and unrelenting in others, ultimately being named Bloody Mary.
