Marie de Guise was mother and regent of Mary. Queen of Scots. Even though she ruled Scotland effectively, her accomplishments have largely been overshadowed by Mary, Queen of Scots failures. In the first biography of Marie de Guise in over thirty years, Scourge of Henry VIII brings Marie de Guise’s story to light. Marie is portrayed as a woman of keen intellect, charm, hard-working, and energetic as she continually fought to secure Mary’s inheritance. Marie de Guise was from the powerful de Guise clan. When she was eighteen, she married the Duc de Longueville. She gave birth to Francois d'Orleans. The marriage was happy, but short-lived. Louis fell ill and died, leaving Marie de Guise a widow at the age of 21. Marie de Guise was happy enough to remain single. Unfortunately, she had two royal kings seeking her hand in marriage, James V and Henry VIII. According to this biography, Marie de Guise was inclined to marry Henry VIII. However, she left the decision to King Francis of France. King Francis wanted to keep up the alliance between Scotland and France and agreed to let James V have Marie. Marie married James V through a proxy marriage and sailed for France. Her marriage to James was short-lived. She had five children, but only Mary, Queen of Scots survived. Defeated by the English at the Battle of Solway Moss, James fell ill and died leaving his daughter Mary queen at 6 days old. The regency of Mary, Queen of Scots fell to the Earl of Arran instead of Marie. It would take twelve years for her to be Regent, in which she ruled for eight years. She struggled with the rise of Protestantism, her conflict with England, and keeping her daughter’s inheritance secured. Thus, Marie De Guise’s struggle for power was long, but she continued to hold power till her death. Overall, this biography showed Marie de Guise to be a capable and politically-adept ruler. Scourge of Henry VIII is a comprehensive and light read for the general reader. There were a few historical errors, and I thought that there should be a more appropriate title for this biography. Nevertheless, it sheds light on Marie de Guise’s accomplishments. Marie de Guise learned from her mother-in-law Margaret Tudor’s failures. While Margaret’s marriages made her lose her authority as regent, Marie de Guise did not remarry so that she could still keep her authority. Mrs. Clegg compares her to Elizabeth because the two made sacrifices for their realm. Thus, Marie de Guise was a better ruler than her daughter, who has largely eclipsed her in fame. Hopefully, Marie de Guise’s story will be more known and she will be given the attention and credit of a capable ruler as she deserves.
What a woman she must have been...constantly being betrayed (by family, countrymen, and external enemies alike), yet still maintaining an equanimity rare among the ruling elite. Unfortunately, everyone (except her parents) failed her; through betrayal, unfulfilled promises, foolishness, and old fashioned greed. She was most certainly one of the greatly incredible women of that incredible era! Awesome.
I've read so much of Mary Queen of Scots and of the Scottish kings but never had any exposure to Marie De Guise, Mary's mother. She came from the sumptuous French cord into the rough and tumble of Scottish politics . One must have had to tiptoe around the tumultuous French English and Scottish environment . This was a good book if you're into UK history.
I enjoyed this book about Marie and her family! I had read many books on Mary of Scotland so it was with great interest to read of the regency of Marie. The author really drew you into the machinations of the French , Scottish, English Courts during this time . As Mary’s mother struggled to keep the country together to pass to her daughter in this male dominated society of the 1500s . Very good!
What an excellent book this was on Marie de Guise. Ms. Melanie Clegg did her homework when writing this and I thank her very much.
Melanie Clegg has an engaging writing style. I had trouble putting this title down and will be exploring her other titles. She gets the concept that people don't want to read about cumbersome inventory lists - something that authors like Alison Weir tends to bog down readers with.
Wonderful book ~ thank you!!
Short history of Marie of Guise.
