Download or read book The Royal Stuarts written by Allan Massie and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Compelling...A masterly feat...A magnificent, sweeping, authoritative, warm yet wry history."--The Wall Street Journal In this fascinating and intimate portrait of the Stuarts, author Allan Massie takes us deep into one of history's bloodiest and most tumultuous reigns. Exploring the family's lineage from the first Stuart king to the last, The Royal Stuarts is a panoramic history of the family that acted as a major player in the Scottish Wars of Independence, the Union of the Crowns, the English Civil War, the Restoration, and more. Drawing on the accounts of historians past and present, novels, and plays, this is the complete story of the Stuart family, documenting their path from the salt marshes of Brittany to the thrones of Scotland and England and eventually to exile. The Royal Stuarts brings to life figures like Mary, Queens of Scots, Charles I, and Bonnie Prince Charlie, uncovering a family of strong affections and fierce rivalries. Told with panache, this is the gripping true story of backstabbing, betrayal, and ambition gone awry.
Book Synopsis The Rises and Falls of the Royal Stewarts by : Oliver Thomson
Download or read book The Rises and Falls of the Royal Stewarts written by Oliver Thomson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 1,000-year saga of the remarkable Scottish family, who began as stewards, then became Stewarts, then Royal Stewarts, and finally Stuarts. They were remarkable not only for the continuity of the male line, which went for 26 generations without a break, but also for the 340 years that they held on to sovereign power. Yet, despite the longevity of the dynasty, the lives of many individuals were violent and short. Of the fourteen Stewart monarchs, eight failed to reach the age of fifty. Six of the fourteen died violent deaths, two were murdered, two executed and two killed in battle. Because of the tendency towards early death, the average age of accession was only twenty-three, and six came to the throne before they were ten. Of the non-royals, over 100 were murdered and over 200 executed. It is a remarkable tale of tenacity and adaptability that has seen the family survive for 1,000 years. The Rises and the Falls of the Royal Stewarts tells their fascinating tale with verve and drama.

Book Synopsis The Royal House of Stewart by : David Peters
Download or read book The Royal House of Stewart written by David Peters and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literary offering is about the Scottish family of Stewart! No other has had the same influence on the histories of the United Kingdom as they have had, and not all of it was good! Up to the early 17th century the separate monarchy's of Scotland and England had been engaged in an almost continual battle for supremacy for hundreds of years, the balance of power swinging first one way then the other. Although the theme of the book is all about the Stewarts, it starts a bit earlier than them with John Balliol and Robert the Bruce. It then traverses the 15 monarchs of the Stewart dynasty which spans some 343 years, starting with King Robert II and ending with Queen Anne which heralded in the House of Hanover. It was not always a time of peace and tranquillity, sometimes it was far from it but it was rarely, if ever, boring and encompasses the three major confrontations in British History, Bannockburn, Flodden and Culloden! We can also throw in the Battle of the Boyne for good measure! Enjoy!
