Royal History Series with Deb Schmidle - the Other Stuarts
About this Event

Following on her presentation examining Charles I and II, this month Deb Schmidle will discuss the remaining monarchs of the Stuart dynasty: James II, William and Mary, and Queen Anne. This is a fascinating and often overlooked period of history characterized by religious strife; challengers to the throne; a bloodless revolution resulting in the deposition of a king; two female monarchs; and a joint monarchy shared by husband and wife.  

  

Join us as we explore rumors of a baby smuggled in a warming pan; a “friendly” Dutch invasion;  and other 18thcentury court intrigues! 

 
Next in this series:
July 19: The Georgians
August 16th: Royal Hounds: A Brief History of Royals and their Canine Companions (in celebration of
International Dog Day which happens later in the month on August 26th)
