Mary, Queen Of Scots


When Mary arrived in Scotland from France arriving in Leith on 19 August 1561, among her possessions was her library of books.
There were history books, books in Latin and Greek, poetry books, political books and romances. One such romance called “ANE ARREST MEMORABLE OF THE SENEIT OF TULLOSE”, is the story of the soldier Martin Guerre.
Even though this was an interesting story in the 16th Century it still retains its interest today. Just think, here is a book that Mary Queen of Scots read hundreds of years ago and a movie was made of the story in the 20th Century. The movie was called THE RETURN OF MARTIN GUERRE.
