About this listen

Welcome to the launch of a brand-new series with historian Dr. Linda Porter: The Queen’s Husband. In this series, we explore the fascinating — and often complicated — men who married queens regnant.

We begin with one of the most captivating and controversial women in history: Mary, Queen of Scots. In this episode, Dr. Porter unravels the stories of Mary’s three husbands — the young King Francis II of France, the ill-fated Henry, Lord Darnley, and the notorious James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell — examining how each shaped her life, her reign, and ultimately, her downfall.

Dr. Linda Porter's Books: Amazon US - also available through other booksellers!
