The Rises And Falls Of The Royal Stewarts
This is the 1,000-year saga of the remarkable family of stewards, who became Stewarts, then Royal Stewarts, then Stuarts. They were remarkable not only for the continuity of the male line, which went twenty-six generations without a break, but also for the 340 years they held onto sovereign power. Yet despite the longevity of the dynasty, the lives of many individuals were violent and short. This book tells the tale with great verve and narrative drama.
