#MaryofGuise, the mother of #MaryQueenofScots, died in @edinburghcastle #OTD in #Tudor times (1560); her daughter was growing up in #France at the time, but would return to rule her fractious nation shortly... #History #Scotland #Edinburgh #FridayThoughts

Where would modern #historians of #MaryQueenofScots - indeed, of #Tudor women in general - be without the works of the Strickland sisters, Agnes and Elizabeth; whatever work we do, we're still just standing on the shoulders of these #Victorian giants #History #WednesdayMotivation
