Book Description
Following the Glorious Revolution the court of the exiled Stuarts was for many years based in France, until after the failure of the Jacobite rising of 1715, it was forced to move, eventually to be established in Rome. This book provides the first study of the court in transition, when exiled King James III lived in the Palazzo Ducale at Urbino.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘If court culture was ultimately about power, what should we make of the courts of the powerless, those built around dethroned, exiled royal dynasties? In The Jacobites at Urbino, Edward Corp provides a thought-provoking answer…Corp’s study is an important contribution to both court and Jacobite studies, and will be of interest to scholars in both fields.’ – Daniel Szechi, The Times Literary Supplement
