4. The Stuart Succession: In a stunning piece of argument, David Starkey charts the transition of the monarchy from Tudor glory to abject Stuart weakness and Civil War. With the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the English royalty was at its zenith.

James Stuart's reign, during which be brought England and Scotland under a single monarch, is examined.
