The Stuarts Series 3 By Mike Walker

The third series in a series of radio plays written by Mike Walker, chronicling the histories of the Stuart Kings and Queens of England, from Mary Queen of Scots to Queen Anne.

1. William III and Mary II - To Have and Hold (28 June 2015) 00:00
Mike Walker's epic chronicle considers the early years of William of Orange and his marriage to James II's daughter, Mary Stuart. By marrying his English cousin, Dutch William looks to cement an alliance between the two countries and halt Louis XIV's land-grabbing march across Europe. Neither partnership gets off to an auspicious start.

2. Queen Anne - Myself Alone (5 July 2015) 57:00:53:55
Mike Walker's epic chronicle of Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch. Everything changed when William of Orange at the head of the Dutch army landed in England and James II fled to France. England is now on the path towards constitutional monarchy and in this new climate, Queen Anne must abandon long-held and cherished allegiances if she is to command the loyalty of rebellious Whigs and Tories and rule with authority.3. Bonnie

3. Bonnie Prince Charlie - Who dares to Be Free (11 July 2015) 1:53:55
When the Dutch army landed in England, led by William of Orange, James II fled to France and the Stuarts finally lost their grip on the English crown. Nearly sixty years later, James' grandson Charles Edward Stuart becomes the figurehead for the Jacobite cause and risks it all for the Stuart name. Mike Walker's epic chronicle tells of just how close Bonnie Prince Charlie came to reclaiming the crown, and of how far he fell when it all went wrong.
4. Charlotte Stuart - The Last Stuart (12 July 2015) 3:20:50
At the age of 31, Charlotte Stuart left behind three children and a protector to live with her estranged father Charles Edward Stuart, a hopeless alcoholic who had abused her mother, refused to acknowledge her and whom she had not seen since she was seven. What was it that Charlotte wanted that led her to sacrifice so much? Or had she fallen victim to the curse of the Stuarts, a curse that had plagued the dynasty since Mary Queen of Scots, and had now sought out its latest and final victim? With Kate O'Flynn, David Troughton and Tim McMullen.
