What is House of Stuart 01 The Year of the Prince about?
The Jacobite Uprising of 1745 is one of those parts of British history that we all think we know a little bit about. The romantic story of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" and his gallant Highlanders invading England, only to turn back at Derby and subsequently be defeated at Culloden is part of the cultural glue that holds Great Britain together. But what if things had turned out differently? Could the Prince and his Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English supporters have reached London, deposed George II and driven him into exile in Hanover? And how would our history have changed if the House of Stuart had been restored to the British throne in 1745? Presented as a historical text, The Year of The Prince tells the tale of a history which might have been and chronicles a successful Jacobite Uprising with many different consequences for Great Britain. It is the first of five volumes in "The House of Stuart Sequence". Future volumes will tell of the ongoing effects of a Stuart Restoration on the history of Great Britain, Europe, the Americas and beyond. The whole series will travel the years from 1745 to 1900 by which time we discover "A World Turned Upside Down".
