WELCOME...


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.
