The Prince Who Would Be King

In "The Last Great Forgotten Jacobean Tale," author Sarah Fraser illuminates the life of Henry Stuart, Prince of Wales, whose potential as a leader and visionary was tragically cut short at the age of eighteen. Set against the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War and a transforming Europe, this compelling narrative explores Henry's wide-ranging interests, from the arts and sciences to his ambitions for exploration and military reform. As the eldest son of James VI of Scotland and James I of England, Henry was poised to become a significant figure in Protestant Europe, advocating for colonization and a more modern British military. Fraser aims to restore Henry's legacy, presenting a vivid portrait of a prince who might have altered the course of British history.
