Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

Mary, Queen of Scots' Final Night


Listen Later

On this day in Tudor history, 7th February 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots received the news she had been dreading—her execution warrant had arrived. By sunrise, she would face the executioner’s axe.
 
But how did she react? Did she break down in fear, or did she stand defiant in her final hours? What did she say? Who did she write to? And what preparations did she make for her death?
 
Today, we step inside Fotheringhay Castle and witness Mary’s last evening—the prayers, the farewells, and the queen who saw herself as a martyr for her faith.
