I’ve noticed – it is hard not to notice thanks to bombardment of silly social media ads – that there is a new Mary Queen of Scots movie that portrays Queen Elizabeth I as a very mean and naughty queen who scowls a lot at Mary the heroine. Never mind that in actual history Mary was a fool caught plotting against Elizabeth and thereby gave her little choice but to lop off Mary’s regicidal head. And even then Elizabeth was reluctant to do so.
But during this Christmas season I wish to be full of peace and good will and all that. So I recommend an older presentation which I find to be more historically accurate. You’re welcome.
