The Stewarts probably had more impact on British history than any other single family. As medieval barons, monarchs and pretenders to the thrones they had lost, they featured prominently in the island’s government, politics, arts and society for over 600 years. This meticulously researched book by best-selling historian Stewart Ross is the first full-length history of that illustrious family for over a century. The long gallery of Stewarts is presented with scholarship, wit, sympathy and vivid colour, giving new emphasis to their passionate sexuality and sinister propensity for depression. The result is a great story starring a startling collage of unforgettable personalities and a book which, if lent, is unlikely to be returned.
