SPECIAL THREE-PART SERIES - THE LOST KING & THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR

Across three episodes, 46, 47, and 48, I'll be looking into the deep roots of the civil wars, focussing on Prince Henry Frederick Stuart, son and heir to King James VI/I. His untimely death in 1612 shocked the three kingdoms, and left his younger brother, Charles, as heir. Who was Henry, what were the expectations on him, and how might he have tackled the crucial issues that presented themselves at the death of King James in 1625?

PART 1, SCOTTISH PRINCE - With Dr Steven Veerapen

Focussing on Henry's younger years, Steven tells me about the prince's character, upbringing, and the political and religious landscape of Scotland.

• What expectations did people place on Henry?
• How was he groomed for kingship?
• In what way did he differ to his father?

This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that.
