Online Public Talks

25 November 2021, 5.00-6.00pm

A Queen's Jewel Box: The 1566 inventory of Mary Queen of Scots' jewellery

Dr Alison Rosie, Registrar, National Register of Archives for Scotland

In 1854 an inventory of Mary Queen of Scots’ rich collection of jewellery, annotated in her handwriting with bequests to her relatives and courtiers, was discovered in General Register House. This talk will look at the contents of the inventory and what it says about Mary’ style during her personal reign and the personal networks she valued and relied on.

Places for this talk can be booked via Eventbrite.
