Daughters of the North – Jennifer Morag Henderson

Join Jennifer Morag Henderson and hear about her most recent publication 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 Bothwell's first wife, Jean Gordon, who extricated herself from their marriage and survived the intrigue of the Queen's 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.
