Summary:

Ruling Britain for over a century from the accession of James I in 1603 to the death without an heir of Queen Anne in 1714, the Stuarts reigned over a time of high political and religion tension. This included the English Civil War, the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the eleven-year Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, before the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. The Stuarts were the first dynasty to rule all three British kingdoms, but tensions between England, Scotland and Ireland brought many of their problems. The Stuarts is a dramatic history that takes a close look at all of the individual rulers as well at the dynasty as a whole.
