KING OVER THE WATER: A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE JACOBITES (PB

Now in paperback, the first modern history for general readers of the entire Jacobite movement in Scotland, England and Ireland, from the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688 that drove James II into exile to the death of his grandson, Cardinal Henry, Duke of York, in 1807. The Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie’s flight through the heather are well known, but not the other risings and plots that involved half of Europe and even revolutionary America. Based on the latest research, the book weaves together all the strands of this gripping saga into a vivid, sweeping narrative, full of insight, analysis and anecdote.
