Please join us with the #StuartSpring movement. Together let's bring spotlight onto this oft-forgotten dynasty, The Stuarts, who ruled Britain in the 17th century, after ruling Scotland for the previous three.

Please welcome Ben Norman, the author of several books on the 17th century, published with both Pen & Sword and Amberley Publishing Houses.

The book we're discussing in this episode has an eerie feel about it: the plague is raging, the long-reigning Queen is dead...

is it 1603 or the 2020's?

James VI of Scotland has just become James I of England. What was his first year in England like?
