Giuseppe Bardari wrote the libretto for this opera, which skilfully plays with history and recreates its real-life characters dramatically. They were presented to the public at its premiere in 1835 wearing all the finery of those romantic and patriotic times. The drama of two women in love with the same man also serves to explain a moment in history when two family crowns faced each other in a final duel: the death of Mary of Scots by order of her cousin Elizabeth of England would unify the two kingdoms on Elizabeth’s death, making the son of Mary, James I, the king of a unified Great Britain.
