James, Earl of Moray: Regent of Scotland (Tudor Times Insights (Profiles))

James Stewart, Earl of Moray was an illegitimate son of James V. He played a pivotal role in the politics of Scotland between 1555 and his assassination in 1571, first as a supporter of his half-sister, Mary, Queen of Scots, but later as her rival for power. Moray's career is controversial - definitely involved in the murder of Mary's secretary, Rizzio, was he also behind the plot to assassinate Darnley with a hidden plan to overthrow Mary? Or was he merely a dutiful servant of the Scottish state, who took on the role of Regent to try to bring stability to the nation?
