Аннотация

Just like the Tudors who preceded them, the Stuarts reigned (over a united kingdom, at least) for little more than a century. But, as with the Tudors, their years of rule coincided with some of the most dramatic events in British history, incidents ranging from revolution and civil war to terrorist attacks and even the killing of a king.
In this special edition from the makers of BBC History Magazine, expert historians will guide you through this tumultuous era, revealing how the Stuarts secured their place on the throne following the death of Elizabeth I, only to be ousted by Oliver Cromwell before Charles II’s triumphant return. You will find out about key moments such as the Gunpowder Plot, the witch trials and the Act of Union, and meet the thrilling cast of characters who populate these stories.
The Story of the Stuarts brings together articles that have appeared previously in BBC History Magazine along with new content commissioned specially for this edition. I hope you find it an enjoyable read – and, of course, if it whets your appetite for the period, be sure to check out regular editions of the magazine for more about this fascinating dynasty.
