Mala len šesť dní, keď sa po smrti otca stala Mária škótskou kráľovnou. V šestnástich pridala vďaka svadbe aj titul francúzskej kráľovnej, ale keď o dva roky neskôr ovdovela, srdce ju odtiahlo domov do Škótska. Osemnásťročné dievča muselo od začiatku obhajovať svoj trón pred rebelujúcimi škótskymi klanmi, navyše čelila otvorenému nepriateľstvu rodovo spriaznenej anglickej kráľovnej Alžbety, ktorej vládu odmietala uznať. Averzia to bola obojstranná, Alžbete Mária vadila nielen ako spurná rivalka, ale aj ako matka budúceho kráľa Jakuba. Anglická panovníčka totiž v tomto smere mala z mnoho príčin len mizerné vyhliadky. Na druhú stranu obe panovníčky spojovala ich izolovanosť v prostredí tvorenom výhradne mužmi, vďaka ktorému získali vzájomné pochopenie, dokonca aj rešpekt. Britské ostrovy však boli pre dve tak silné ženy príliš malé a obe to vedeli. Otázkou bolo len, ktorá z nich sa rozhodne urobiť prvý krok k eliminácii tej druhej, a ako veľmi to bude bolieť.
