"And the Murder of Lord Darnley"Darnley's Murder ultimately led to Mary's ruin. One factor was the convenient discovery of a box of documents - the nororious Casket Letters - that her enemies claimed were proof of her guilt. But Mary was never allowed to see the letters, and they disappeared in 1584. The question of their authenticity has haunted historians ever since.After exhaustive re-examination of the source material, Alison Weir has found a solution to this enduring mystery that can be substantiated by contemporary evidence. In the process, she shatters many of the misconceptions about Mary, Queen of Scots and produces and extraordinarily vivid portrait of Mary's Scotland.
