Synopsis

Scotland's royal family reigned for more than 300 years, until the violent overthrow of James VII in 1688. But, what became of the House of Stewart?

Authoritatively researched and passionately written, this book reveals the untold story of the doomed monarchy. In addition to historical insights, Prince Michael, a legitimate descendent of Charles Edward Stewart, offers his own personal overview of the Scottish social, economic, and political contemporary scene.

At a time when the debate over Scottish nationhood is making headlines, this stunning chronicle of political intrigue and deceit is more relevant than ever.
