| Resumo: | Mary Stuart is a controversial character of universal history. After six days of her birth, inherited the Crown from her father James V of Scotland. At the age of twenty-five, she was forced to abdicate the throne and fled to England to seek for refuge at the court of her cousin Elizabeth I, who, perceiving her as a threat, kept her prisoner for nineteen years, until 1586, when she was found guilty of involvement in a conspiracy against her. During her captivity, she had an intense letter exchange with many personalities from French, Spanish, and Scottish society, using several and very sophisticated message encryption systems for that epoch. This paper analyzes the encoded epistolary corpus and its relation to the events that led to her execution on February 8, 1587. |
