The Warring Queens | Rivals | 1

About this episode

The episode explores the rivalry between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I over the throne.

Mary Queen of Scots has everything: beauty, charm, royal blood and a claim to the most powerful throne in the world. There's just one tiny problem... Her cousin Elizabeth I. This is the story of two queens, one throne, and a decades-long struggle. Protestant against Catholic, cousin against cousin. Do you have a suggestion for a scandal you would like us to cover?
