We often think of the Jacobite risings as a male-dominated saga of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Culloden, but the story begins with two women who never ruled: Margaret Stuart and Anne Stuart. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace the intricate diplomatic web spun around the daughters of James VII and II, whose marriages were treated not as personal unions but as geopolitical chess moves by Louis XIV of France and the courts of Europe. We explore how the Treaty of Ryswick and the subsequent War of the Spanish Succession turned these princesses into pawns in a larger conflict over the succession of the Spanish throne. Luna joins Lucas to unpack the tragic figure of Princess Anne, whose death at age twenty-five left no heir, setting the stage for the Act of Settlement and the eventual union of the crowns. You will hear about the political maneuvering in Versailles, the quiet despair of the exiled court at Saint-Germain, and the moment when the hope for a Catholic restoration died not on a battlefield, but in a bedroom. This is a look at the gendered politics of early modern diplomacy and the human cost of dynastic ambition. #Jacobites #MargaretStuart #AnneStuart #JamesVIIandII #LouisXIV #Versailles #TreatyOfRyswick #WarOfSpanishSuccession #ActOfSettlement #ExileCourt #SaintGermain #DynasticPolitics #ScottishHistory #EuropeanDiplomacy #17thCentury #RoyalMarriage #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
