Shadowed by the gravity of the Thirty Years\u2019 War and the huge changes taking place across Europe in seventeenth century society, economy, politics and empire, his life was visually and verbally gorgeous.<\/p>\n<p>Charismatic, gifted, dynamic \u2013 dead at only eighteen years old, on the point of succeeding to the throne.<\/p>\n<p>In 1610, Henry Stuart was a celebrity throughout Europe, at a momentous period for European history and culture. Eldest son of James VI and the epitome of heroic Renaissance princely virtue, his life was set against a period about as rich as any. The King James Bible, religious tension throughout Europe, Gunpowder plot, Jacobean theatre and the dark tragedies pouring from Shakespeare\u2019s quill, innovation in learning and science, exploration and trade \u2013 as well and the bloody traumas of the Thirty Years War were his backdrop. The Lost Prince tells the life story of the prince, now completely forgotten, who might have saved us from King Charles I, his spaniels and the civil war his misrule engendered.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Lost-Prince-Sarah-Fraser\/dp\/0007548087\/ref=sr_1_39?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482957503&#038;sr=1-39>From Amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Lost-Prince-Sarah-Fraser\/dp\/0007548087\/ref=sr_1_39?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482957503&#038;sr=1-39>Further details \u2013 Amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4th May 2017 \u2013 The Prince Who Would Be King: The Life and Death of Henry Stuart by Sarah Fraser \u2018Henry Stuart\u2019s life is last great forgotten Jacobean tale.
