A Stewart themed Post about three of my four fav Stewarts As I commented in my Roman post today, in addition to this day marking the beginning of the 19 year old son of Gods career as Head of State, but it also marks the day the eighteen year old Mary Stewart, one of my favorite Stewarts (Lo bar that, after the Bruce), took up her life long position as Queen of Scotland, and her quest for the English Crown, having already been Queen Consort of France. She invites contrafactual speculation, but for the moment, I will just stick to a contrafactual(?) legend, that when the five year old Queen, who had grown up in caves hiding from Henry Octavius Tudor, arrived in France, she danced in deer skins for the French Royal family, entrancing her future husband King Francis, and disgusting her future mother-in-law. Next, on this day in 1596, her granddaughter Elizabeth Stuart, the Winter Queen of Bohemia, as the wife of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and the Winter King, was born. King and Queen of Bohemia for less than a year when Europes only non-Turkish state to offer a form of religious freedom rejected the Hapsberg fanatics, they were overthrown by the Emperor in a campaign that started the Thirty Year War. Her son was the hero of Romance Rupert of the Rhine, who in sheathe of alterwhens is memorialized by the Dominion or Republic of Rupertsland. These details makes her my fourth fav Stewart. Details. With the demise of the Stuart dynasty in 1714, her daughters son succeeded to the British throne as George I of Great Britain, initiating the House of Hanover. As I have said tho. Everyone does something stupid sometime. Finally, Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his standard in Glenfinnan on this day, the start of the Second Jacobite Rebellion, known as the 45 which finally settled the question of succession between the descendants of the author of the Bible (To blacken his name, The King James is officially Ghost-Written Thanx 4 the poetry, Smokey!) youtube/watch?v=7o0NUmNNffM
