The Wedding of Mary Queen of Scots to Francis II at Notre-Dame de Paris

On April 24, 1558, Paris erupted in a massive royal spectacle for the wedding of Mary Queen of Scots and the Dauphin Francis at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The city was transformed by a magnificent, blue velvet-covered gallery that allowed the royal party to march high above the muddy streets and cheering crowds. Mary was a vision of grandeur in a glittering white gown, breaking tradition to embody the height of French courtly grace. Yet, beneath the gold coins and soaring canopies, a dark game of statecraft was at play, as the fifteen-year-old Queen had already been coerced into secretly signing away her kingdom's sovereignty.

In this video I go into detail all about the wedding and the steps leading up to it.....
