How about a slightly different perspective on the historic quest for Scottish independence? "Reign" presents a (heavily fictionalized) version of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. Descended from the Tudor royal line, Mary's journey starts out when she arrives in France as the betrothed of the heir to the throne. Through epic romances, terrifying betrayals, and razor's-edge court politics, Mary transforms from naive princess to a steely would-be queen. As her story eventually brings her back to her native Scotland and into conflict with her English cousin, Queen Elizabeth, Mary is faced with difficult choices and a historical fate that cannot be avoided.
