Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last of the Royal Stuarts: Henry Stuart, Cardinal Duke of York With the continued interest taken in Jacobite literature it appears strange that so little has been written concerning Henry Stuart, Cardinal Duke of York, titular King Henry the Ninth of Great Britain, France and Ireland, whose personality has habitually been neglected by English historians. Only in so far as his course of action is associated with that of his brilliant and popular brother, the "Bonny Prince Charlie" of song and story, has the life of the last of the Royal Stuarts ever been seriously touched upon; whilst his important ecclesiastical career, his personal influence in the affairs of his family, and his obstinate assumption of the royal title are so little understood or appreciated by English readers that we offer no apology for this biography. We so often read and hear of the Young Pretender, that many of us are apt to regard him as the final member of his House, although his brother and political heir survived him for nearly twenty years. Few realise, in short, that there was a younger Pretender still, insistent on his hereditary claims to the British Throne, and strongly imbued with all the royal traditions of his House.
