The Stuarts background

The Stuarts

Dr Clare Jackson from Cambridge University presents a three-part series exploring how the Stuarts played an unparalleled role in shaping Britain’s history.

This series explores how the Stuarts were Britain's most significant royal family. We often take today's United Kingdom for granted but its creation was anything but inevitable during the 17th century, when the country struggled with three separate kingdoms, multiple religions, and civil war. This dynasty faced many of the same challenges that modern-day Britain still grapples with, making their story a fascinating one.
