En ma fin git mon commencement
In my end is my beginning is the motto to one of the most enigmatic characters in British history, Mary Queen of Scots.
Having fallen out with her lords and being defeated by them at the battle of Langside , Mary fled Scotland to England, coming ashore near to Workington on the Cumbrian coast on May 16th 1568; she was eventually brought to Bolton Castle on July 15th that same year.
Visit the rooms she occupied and join our Living Historians to find out more about life in a Tudor castle, especially one that played host for 6 months to the captive Queen of Scotland.
