Queen Mary's Last Letter

The last letter written by Mary Queen of Scots is to go on display for the first time in 30 years. The 422-year-old manuscript – written six hours before her execution – will be unveiled at the National Library of Scotland later this month.

During Queen Mary's few remaining hours, she penned one last letter to King Henri III of France. One interesting tidbit of information from the letter is that she asks King Henri to pay the wages of her servant. To read the letter click here
