Dangerous History!

Read how the identification of the marriage trunk of Francis Stewart, the 5th Earl of Bothwell, and Margaret Douglas of Branxholme Castle, led to such contraversial discoveries, that the author was wary of publishing at all! Both ground breaking and revelationary, this book reveals the life, times and associates of Francis Stewart,"The King Devil" who has, until now, been almost entirely written out of history, although he came within an ace of becoming King of both Scotland and England. This Book reveals why. An original work of historical research, bristling with plot and counter plot, the story of the years prior to the union of the crowns of Scotland and England, is delivered with a mounting intensity, whose final blow has the impact of a mailed fist, whose repercussions echo about us today... You simply must read it. Order your signed first editions now! tel. (UK) 01450 850 237 . Lines open 9am to 6pm. GMT. tel. (USA, Australia) 01144 1450 850 237 Order form. |
