Synopsis
The series tells about the events of 1557-59. The Queen of Scotland, Mary , has been hiding in a monastery since childhood. Bypassing the rivals, the villains who want her dead, the nuns help her. But the time comes to return to the castle and become not only the titled queen, but also the wife of Prince Francis, with whom the girl was engaged to a few years ago. This is a political union that should strengthen the position of Scotland. The basis of the entire royal life is composed of cunning plans and intrigues. The king sees marriage only as a way to get closer to another country and make his power even larger and stronger. The king has an illegitimate son who opposes this marriage. Moreover, Nostradamus predicted that marriage with Mary would cost Francis life. Catherine de Medici is doing everything to save her son. In addition, there are dark forces in the castle in the person of the illegal daughter of Catherine de Medici Clarissa, who also opposes this marriage. Residents are superstitious and trust magic.
