About this title

Synopsis

Traces the life of Prince Henry, who died at eighteen, and speculates on what British history would have been like if he had ruled instead of his brother, King Charles I

From the Publisher

When the 18–year–old Henry, Prince of Wales died in 1612, the hopes of a new generation were dashed. For the Prince, eldest son of James I and brother of the future Charles I, epitomized the yearning of those who wished England to lead Protestant Europe in a great crusade against the might of Catholic Spain. Henry simultaneously embodied the aspirations of a new era in the arts, creating a court that would have rivaled those of the Medici grand dukes in Florence. This, the first major book on “Henry IX” since 1760, is the story of a great renaissance cut tragically short. Sir Roy Strong is the former Director of both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery; among his many books are The Artist and the Garden, The Cult of Elizabeth, and The Story of Britain.
