"Compelling...A masterly feat...A magnificent, sweeping, authoritative, warm yet wry history."--The Wall Street Journal In this fascinating and intimate portrait of the Stuarts, author Allan Massie takes us deep into one of history's bloodiest and most tumultuous reigns. Exploring the family's lineage from the first Stuart king to the last, The Royal Stuarts is a panoramic history of the family that acted as a major player in the Scottish Wars of Independence, the Union of the Crowns, the English Civil War, the Restoration, and more. Drawing on the accounts of historians past and present, novels, and plays, this is the complete story of the Stuart family, documenting their path from the salt marshes of Brittany to the thrones of Scotland and England and eventually to exile. The Royal Stuarts brings to life figures like Mary, Queens of Scots, Charles I, and Bonnie Prince Charlie, uncovering a family of strong affections and fierce rivalries. Told with panache, this is the gripping true story of backstabbing, betrayal, and ambition gone awry.

The Stewart family has been the subject of history, chronicles, dramas, operas, and novels for hundreds of years. Lands Where My Fathers Died meticulously recreates that history from 1230 A.D., when the first family member used STEWART as his surname, to the present. Here are the High Stewards, founders and benefactors of Paisley Abbey, the Cradle of the Stewarts, the royal Stewart kings and queens, accounts of the Stewarts of medieval Glasgow, through the Protestant Revolution until exiled into Ireland. When Hugh Stewart gets on a ship in Belfast and arrives in Pennsylvania in 1735 there are new stories of pioneers, frontiersmen, Indians, farmers and merchants, wars and crimes, births and deaths. Each generation gives equal accounts of both the male progenitors and their wives who became Stewarts by marriage. Throughout this book celebrates family life, the fathers and mothers who are the forebears of today's generation of Stewarts.
Two decades after the tragic accident that killed their father, Theodora, Josh, and Claire return to their childhood home to confront painful realities about their incapable mother and the devoted aunt who raised them.
