We return to meet two of the principal perpetrators of the deed, the Earl of Morton and Lord Ruthven. Discover why they felt Rizzio was a threat and witness their discussions and plans as they prepare to carry out the treasonous deed.
In addition, come along and find out about 16th century fashion, make-up and grooming and visit the military encampment to enjoy live weaponry and combat demonstrations.
