Travel in the 16th century was a dangerous business, not to be undertaken lightly. Back in Scotland, Mary' s mother was afraid that storms or hostile English troops would stop her fiveyearold daughter from ever arriving. But Mary herself was blissfully unaware of the dangers, regarding it all as a big adventure, despite the ship' s rudder being smashed in rough seas and everyone around her being laid low with seasickness. To the people of France, she was a brave and intrepid heroine who' d fled from the savage English. The ancient town of Blois welcomed the little queen. Blois, with its picturesque setting alongside the banks of the River Loire, was a long way from the hills and moorlands of Scotland and culturally it couldn' t have felt more alien. |
