KATE EASTWOOD NORRIS: So what was the question, again?
SPEAKER 2: Who has the greater claim to the throne?
NORRIS: Who has the greater claim to the throne? Me.
HOLLY TWYFORD: Elizabeth.
NORRIS: I do. She doesn't. I do. Or Mary.
TWYFORD: Elizabeth.
NORRIS: Mary.
TWYFORD: Elizabeth.
NORRIS: Mary. Mary Stuart was the Queen of Scotland and France. And if England had stayed Catholic, she would have been the Queen of England, too.
TWYFORD: Elizabeth had the greater claim to the throne. I mean, obviously. Absolutely. Her father was Henry VIII.
NORRIS: Mary went to England for the sacred right of asylum, threw herself into Elizabeth's arms for protection, and instead was stuck in prison for almost 20 years.
TWYFORD: This is the story of how difficult it is to have power.
NORRIS: This is the story of power versus justice.
TWYFORD: And how power can be absolute and power can make you a slave.
NORRIS: It's about betrayal and nerves and courage and fear and lust.
