Maria Stuart - dronning uden krone
En stridens datter
Maria Stuart blev kronet Skotlands dronning, før hun endnu havde lært at sutte på fingeren, hun blev Frankrigs dronning, inden hun var voksen - gift med den franske barnekonge Frans 2. - og enke kun 17 år gammel.
Den tredje krone, Englands, skulle hun aldrig få, selv om hun af katolikkerne blev betragtet som Englands retmæssige regent. I stedet måtte hun lægge hovedet på blokken, efter at have levet det meste af sit voksne liv som Elizabeth 1.s fange, ensom, forladt og beskyldt for at have været delagtig i mordet på sin anden mand, Lord Darnley, og for derefter at have giftet sig med selve morderen. Alligevel blev det hendes efterkommere - Stuart'erne - der kom til at arve tronen efter Elizabeth.

Dette var ei fantastisk bok. Tenk å lære så mye om Englands historie, de forskjellige liv og skjebner, politiske intriger - og bli underholdt på samme tid. Richard Herrmann har en utrolig kunnskap som han deler på en vittig og interessant måte. Og han har et herlig grep om språket også - det er nesten som å tilbringe en fredelig stund i sofakroken, med noen som kjenner sin historie ut og inn. Vakkert, morsomt, spennende og gir absolutt mersmak.
Anbefales varmt til alle som liker historie, det engelske kongehus, eller som har sans for en spissfindig skrivestil.

En kort og meget redegørende bog om den franske og skotske dronning Maria Stuart. Jeg var lidt irriteret på undertitlen - dronning uden krone - for det er jo egentlig slet ikke sandt. Hun var dronning i to forskellige lande med kroner begge steder. Det eneste sted hun ikke havde en krone var i England, og der var hun jo slet ikke dronning selvom hun jo selv mente at hun havde krav på titlen. Bogen var tør for kilder, hvilket for en aspirerende historiker er et stort irritationsmonument, men af måden bogen er skrevet på er det meget tydeligt, at den er tiltængt som en underholdningsfortælling og ikke mere end det.
