I learned a bit about the Stuarts from a book about royal “poisonings” and this fed my need to learn a little more. Great article!

Thank you for reading!! I have another post that outlines the major royals of their dynasty, and it also has a recommendation for a great book about the Stuarts!

If anything, George Villiers was a hot guy.

There seems to be a good few Irish connections with this particular noble family?

The Tory MP with the name did she, Therse, come from the same line?

Thanks, You would, wouldn’t you. She is British, well English, parliamentary royalty so to speak: MP, MEP, NI secretary

Very interesting. Not only was the original George Villiers family very large, several of his children had extremely large families as well. No doubt thousands are related, but it is awesome to still see the actual family name still going in several branches today!

I am an American, so I am super familiar with modern British political members…but I did a quick search and she is indeed a member of that family!
