Amid the unrelenting grimness of the Mary, Queen of Scots story comes a NICE story with a HAPPY EVER AFTER ENDING. Let's all take a brain break to learn about Jean Gordon, daughter of Cock o' the North, briefly the wife of Bothwell, and how her life turned out GREAT after all that happened. My guest is Jennifer Morag Henderson, who wrote the book Daughters of the North: Jean Gordon and Mary, Queen of Scots, which I've been using as a resource in almost every episode this season!
