Mary Stuart - Queen of Scots - DVD

Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan), who was crowned Queen of Scotland at just nine months old, returns to Scotland at the age of 18 after the death of her young husband in France to claim the throne legally. This sets her in a power struggle with Queen Elizabeth I, who has been the sole ruler of the English kingdom until then. Mary Stuart does not recognize Elizabeth as the legitimate queen of England and Scotland. Elizabeth, who also does not accept a rival, is challenged in her claim to power. Uprisings, conspiracies, and betrayal threaten the thrones of both queens, who, despite their rivalry, are fascinated by each other. As young, confident rulers, they fight for the crown, for love, and for power in a male-dominated world, forever changing the fate of their countries.
