History

Stuart Spouses looks at the oft-overshadowed consorts of the Stuart monarchs, from 1406 to 1714. By focusing on these people and detailing their rises to matrimony, the trials and tribulations of their courtships, and the impact their unions and dissolutions had on the kingdoms of Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales, one learns not only the history of these kingdoms but the true, sometimes soft, power behind the throne.

Reviews for Stuart Spouses: A Compendium of Consorts from James I of Scotland to Queen Anne of Great Britain

""An enthralling study of the often-overlooked consorts of the Stuart dynasty. This delightful volume, truly epic in scope, reveals the personalities and politics of the full panoply of Stuart queens and kings consort, not shying away from the tumultuous events and crises of the dynasty.""--Dr. Steven Veerapen, Teaching Associate at Glasgow University and author of The Wisest Fool
