On the 17th December in the year of our Lord 1619, a boy was born to Elizabeth Stuart and Frederick V of Bohemia.

He would grow up to be his uncle's fierce cavalier commander with the ever-romantic moniker - Rupert of the Rhine.

To give dynastic context - Rupert was grandson to James VI & I, nephew to Charles I, and uncle to the future George I.

If you ever needed a link between the Stuarts and the Hanoverians, this is it.

With us today we have author and historian Mark Turnbull.

He has published Rupert's biography with Pen & Sword.

Welcome back, Mark!
