Book Synopsis The Black Legend of Prince Rupert's Dog by : Mark Stoyle
Download or read book The Black Legend of Prince Rupert's Dog written by Mark Stoyle and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling book from Mark Stoyle sets out to uncover the true history of Boy, the canine companion of Charles I's famous nephew, Prince Rupert. Like his master, Boy was held to possess dark powers and was elevated to celebrity status as a 'dog-witch' during the English Civil War of 1642-46. Many scholars have remarked upon the fantastical rumours which circulated about Prince Rupert and his dog, but no-one has investigated the source of these rumours, or explored how the supernatural element of the prince's public image developed over time. In this book, Mark Stoyle recounts the occult stories which centred upon Prince Rupert and his dog. He shows how those stories grew out of, and contributed to, the changing pattern of witch-belief in England during the Civil War. Shortlisted for the Folklore Society's Katharine Briggs Award 2012.

Book Synopsis Elizabeth of Bohemia by : David Elias
Download or read book Elizabeth of Bohemia written by David Elias and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping, cinematic novel about the life of the Winter Queen, Elizabeth Stuart October 1612. King James I is looking to expand England’s influence in Europe, especially among the Protestants. He invites Prince Frederic of the Palatinate to London and offers him his sixteen-year-old daughter Elizabeth’s hand in marriage. The fierce and intelligent Elizabeth moves to Heidelberg Castle, Frederic’s ancestral home, where she is favored with whatever she desires, and the couple begins their family. Amid much turmoil, the Hapsburg emperor is weakened, and with help from Bohemian rebels, Frederic takes over royal duties in Prague. Thus, Elizabeth becomes the Queen of Bohemia. But their reign is brief. Within the year, Catholic Europe unites to take back the Hapsburg throne. Defeated at the Battle of White Mountain, Frederic, Elizabeth, and their children are forced into exile for a much-reduced life in The Hague. Despite tumultuous seasons of separation and heartache, the Winter Queen makes every effort to keep her family intact. Written with cinematic flair, this historical novel brings in key figures such as Shakespeare and Descartes as it recreates the drama and intrigue of 17th-century England and the Continent. Elizabeth’s children included Rupert of the Rhine and Sophia of Hanover, from whom the Hanoverian line descended to the present Queen Elizabeth II.

Download or read book Prince Rupert written by Frank Kitson and published by Constable & Robinson. This book was released on 1994 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Prince Rupert of the Rhine is the romantic and colourful story of an extraordinary military commander. His father was the Winter King of Bohemia, who had lost his kingdom at the beginning of the Thirty Years War; Rupert spent his early years as a prince without a home. It is said that by the age of eight he was already showing a remarkable understanding of techniques of warfare. At fourteen he had taken part in his first campaign, and at twenty-two he was commanding the King's cavalry in the Civil War. In this book, Frank Kitson provides an illuminating account of his exploits, from a military perspective. Kitson discusses Rupert's boyhood study of fortifications; the early campaigns; his military studies while in captivity; and he describes the Civil War in detail, analysing Rupert's strategies and battle procedures.

Download or read book Prince Rupert written by Frank Kitson and published by Constable & Robinson. This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up the story of Prince Rupert from 1647, when his army career came to an end, and examines his work as an admiral, then sometimes known as general-at-sea -- the first book to study this aspect of his life in any detail. When Rupert first took command of the Royalist fleet the Commonwealth government was firmly established in England. For the next four and a half years with no base he kept the Royalist flag flying in the approaches to the Channel, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean, harried by Parliamentary commanders and buffeted by storms. It was a tremendous achievement. After the Restoration Rupert returned to England where until his death twenty-two years later he played a prominent role in the government. His career at sea continued in the Second and Third Dutch wars, when, as commander-in-chief of the fleet, he took part in some of the most heavily contested battles in naval history. Finally, in 1673 he was made in effect First Lord of the Admiralty -- a post he held for the next six years. As in General Kitson's earlier book, Prince Rupert: Portrait of a Solider (to which this is a sequel), Rupert is here brought to life an engaging, vigorous, supremely intelligent man; while the reader is also given a vivid picture of life at sea in the seventeenth century. -- Inside jacket flap.
