James II And His Wives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428618817)

""James II And His Wives"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Allan Fea. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life of James II, the last Catholic king of England, and his relationships with his two wives, Anne Hyde and Mary of Modena. Fea delves into the political and religious tensions of the time, exploring James II's controversial reign and his relationships with his two very different wives. The book also examines the roles that Anne and Mary played in James II's life and in the wider context of the tumultuous political and religious landscape of 17th century England. Through detailed research and analysis, Fea offers readers an engaging and informative glimpse into the life of one of England's most controversial monarchs and his relationships with the women who shared his life.Content: The Young Admiral Of The Fleet, A Game Of Hide And Seek, The Duke Wins Laurels And Loses His Heart, James Marries The Chancellor's Daughter, James And His First Wife, The Duchess Dies, James Marries Again, The Papist Scare, Political And Domestic Troubles, Other Anxieties, Monmouth Versus York, Exit King Charles, The End Of Monmouth, The Countess Of Dorchester, James Defies The Law, James At Last Blessed With An Heir, The Rats Leave The Sinking Ship, King Leap's Daughters, The Queen Quits Whitehall With Her Baby, James Has Unpleasant Experiences In Kent, King James's Court At Faversham, From Rochester To Ambleteuse, Bloody Claviers, Ireland In 1689, The Campaign Of 1690, The Intended Invasion Of 1693, The Adventures Of A Jacobite In 1693, Le Roi Est Mort: Vive Le Roi, Requiescant In Pace, The Descendants Of King James, Index.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
