Welcome to our STEW/ART HISTORY FORTNIGHT !


Last time we spoke about the Quaker movement in the 17th century, this time our attention goes towards Mary of Modena - one of our more underrated queens.

What was it like to marry James, Duke of York, who was many years her senior?

What was life like in Charles II's court?

What did Mary do when she had to flee Britain after the Glorious Revolution?


We sit down with Justine Brown, author of Mary of Modena: James II's Dazzling Queen, published by Pen & Sword.

Welcome back, Justine!
