I dont know what to make of this video. Knox's accent is awesome, but I think they are trying to make him the bad guy. It is still well worth watching.

Is that Russell Crowe at the beginning?

 

[Poimen]

Queen Mary: I am a Catholic.

John Knox: And this is a Protestant country.

Queen Mary: I have no wish to change that. I will practice my religion in private, as I was doing until I was so rudely interrupted. I will not impose my religion upon my country.

Postmodernism at it's best.

This movie is called Gunpowder, Treason & Plot (2004).

For what it's worth, There is a 1972 edition of Mary, Queen of Scots and an upcoming 2008 edition.

I remember during a lecture at university, the Professer was discussing relations between James VI (later James I of England) and Queen Elizabeth, he said they were occasionally frosty "after all Elizabeth had cut his mother's head off...people tend to take these things personally.'
