【BBC女王的宫殿】圣十字架宫17
圣十字架宫是王室血腥历史的见证。历史上有名的苏格兰玛丽女王——号称当时最美丽的女人就曾住在城堡塔楼中。玛丽15岁嫁给法国王室，19岁丈夫去世又回到苏格兰，在民众拥戴中登上王位。玛丽女王在叛变中失掉王位并逃往英格兰，囚禁19年后被处死。玛丽女王的秘书在塔楼中被刺56刀而死，现在这里还立着一块指示牌。这就不难理解为什么圣十字架宫会经常传出闹鬼的传闻了。

It reads, "He who hopes still constantly with patience shall obtain victory in their claim." In other words, slow and steady wins the race. And on the back that ambition is illustrated by what's known as The Pelican In Its Piety, and it's the pelican drawing blood from its own breast to feed its young, and that's Margaret caring for her grandson, for James. And here's Darnley prone here, he's dead. And the sunflower growing out, the sunflower being Margaret's grandson James, turning towards the sun, representing Elizabeth I. And it's the clearest representation of Margaret's fervent desire that her grandson James should become king, not just of Scotland, but of England too.但你看到外面的题字，便明白玛嘉烈对家族和孙儿的期望。“希望加耐心，才会得胜”，即是说，要稳步前进，争取胜利。后面的塘鹅哺儿图显示她的野心，画中的塘鹅用胸口流出的血哺儿，这是玛嘉烈在照顾孙儿詹姆斯。这是死了的达恩利，向日葵就是玛嘉烈的孙儿詹姆斯。他面向代表伊利沙伯一世的太阳，这件作品反映玛嘉烈热切期望…孙儿成为苏格兰和英格兰的国王。
