I always enjoy reading your excerpts on history. The line between the Stuarts and Hanoverian lines confused me. Your telling made it clearer. Thank you.

It's fascinating how different things could have turned out if only a few people made different choices. If the Stuarts remained Protestant, they could rule Britain even now, if James II's children were a bit more pragmatic, like Henry IV of France who converted for the Crown, the same could have happened even after 1688.
