Excerpt from The Adventures of King James II of England The following pages contain an attempt to demonstrate that the life of James II. Was chiefly remarkable for the number and variety of his ad ventures. The historical and political aspects of that life are here but slightly noticed, and only so far as seemed necessary to make the whole coherent. The Author wishes to express his gratitude to Abbot Gasquet for the admirable Introduction; to Mr. Walter Herries Pollock for revising the manu script and to his wife for her assistance in correcting the proofs.

An intimate look at James II and VII, exploring his romantic escapades, tumultuous life, and the personal struggles that shaped his controversial reign. The personal side of James II and VII has long been obscured by the propaganda storm emanating from the “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, one of the great founding myths of modern Britain. Justine Brown unveils James the man, teasing out a fresh dimension. The Private Life of James II details the romantic adventures of a true Cavalier—handsome, courageous, loyal, pleasure-seeking, lusty, determined and soulful. The Stuart “spare” briefly experienced a golden childhood before, aged nine, he was flung headlong into the English Civil Wars of 1642-1649. After escaping England in disguise, he endured the execution of his adored father, Charles I, and years of exile on the Continent. In 1660 the Duke of York returned to his native land in triumph. He rode into the capital at the right hand of his brother, Charles II. James fully embraced the role of Restoration rake, headed up the Royal Navy, fought the Fire of London with gusto, and was a great patron of theater, painting, and music. “The darling of the people” until his dramatic conversion to Roman Catholicism transformed him into England’s scapegoat, the heir to the Crown had a turbulent road ahead. Come to understand what truly drove James, and learn about his complex relationships with his children, his two remarkable wives, Anne Hyde and Mary of Modena; his many mistresses, as well as the extraordinary friends and rivals who helped shape the fate of this consequential Stuart monarch of England, Scotland and Ireland.

Excerpt from The Oak Staircase: Or, the Stories of Lord and Lady Desmond; A Narrative of the Times of James II Tory of the Maids of Taunton which is a well known episode in the record of the Duke of Monmouth's Rebellion - and the romantic story of the marriage between Lord Sunderland's daughter and the Earl of Clancarty.

Katherine Sedley lived by her own rules and loved who she pleased- until she became the infamous mistress of King James II ... London, 1675: Born to wealth and privilege, Katherine is introduced to the decadent court of King Charles II, and quickly becomes a favorite from the palace to the bawdy playhouses. She gleefully snubs respectable marriage to become the Duke of York's mistress. But Katherine's life of carefree pleasure ends when Charles II dies, and her lover becomes King James II. Suddenly she is cast into a tangle of political intrigue, religious dissent, and ever-shifting alliances, where a wrong step can mean treason, exile, or death at the executioner's block. As the risks rise, Katherine is forced to make the most perilous of choices: to remain loyal to the king, or to England.

Excerpt from The King Over the Water The subject of this Biography was unfortunate in his life, and perhaps even more unfortunate in the treatment which he has received at the hands of historians. The "weak," the "bigoted," "the obstinate old Pretender," are examples of the flowers which historians scatter on his grave. He is accused of the fatal preference for "favourites," which helped to ruin so many of the Stuart kings; and, in his quarrel with his wife, History has, as is natural, sided with the lady, and accepted the worst of the contemporary rumours against the character of her lord. Histories succeed each other, and are superseded by fresh rivals, but when a genius like that of Thackeray presents an elaborate portrait of an historical personage in a work which, like Esmond, can never wax old, never cease to charm; then, if the portrait be unfavourable, the result is fatal. The King James drawn by Thackeray in Esmond is brilliant, is convincing, and leaves the subject with scarcely a shred of character. The courage displayed by James at Malplaquet is confessed, the frank loyalty of his proclamation of fidelity to his creed is applauded; but, for the rest, we are shown a wild, witty, heartless, and ingrate young profligate, seldom sober, and, when sober, running after every pretty face; destroying the plans, and striving to ruin the honour of his most devoted adherents. Colonel Henry Esmond finds the uncrowned king swearing like the meanest of his subjects, at tennis, or "in liquor," at cards with his mistress, Miss Oglethorpe.
