The Royal House of Stuart was the ruling dynasty of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland for 111 years, by way of seven monarchs. All together, the Stuart dynasty lived through arguably the most eventful, bloodthirsty and trying period in British history, from 1603 until 1714. THE STUARTS - A BLOODY REIGN, hosted by Professor Kate Williams (Young Victoria; Secret History of Edward VII) reassesses the royal house's history and legacy in a new and unique way.
