Description of
Daughters of the North: Jean Gordon and Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary, Queen of Scots marriage to the Earl of Bothwell is notorious. Less known is Bothwells first wife, Jean Gordon, who extricated herself from their marriage and survived the intrigue of the Queens court. Daughters of the North reframes this turbulent period in history by focusing on Jean, who became Countess of Sutherland: the most powerful woman in the north.
