The King Over the Water

By Alice Shield and Andrew Lang

"The King Over the Water" delves into the life and times of James VII of Scotland and James II of England, offering a detailed examination of his reign, deposition, and the subsequent Jacobite movement that sought to restore the Stuart dynasty. Andrew Lang and Alice Shield provide a nuanced portrayal of James, exploring his policies, religious beliefs, and the political machinations that led to his downfall.

This book sheds light on the complex dynamics of 17th-century British politics and the enduring legacy of the Jacobite cause. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in British history, the Stuart dynasty, and the Jacobite rebellions.
