Blood of Kings. The Stuarts, the Ruthvens and the 'Gowrie Conspiracy'.

Great Britain: Ian Allan, 2010. Hardback. First Edition. Blood of Kings. This book is a story of murder, lust for power and revenge. Of an alleged plot to kill King James Stuart that he regarded as far more dangerous to his life than the nearly contemporary Gunpower Plot. Of a plot so develish that Shakespeare used it as the basis for Macbeth. Of 'spin', disinformation and government cover0ups. of a mighty dynasty humiliated during the posthumous trials of two decomposing corpses propped up in a courtroom. Of lords who dabble in black magic and were immortalised as warlocks and vampires. Of noblemen who deposed a queen and kidnapped a king. Of the dark conspiracies that formed during the dying days of Queen Elizabeth the First. This book also reveals starling evidence that links the 'Gowrie Conspiracy' of 1600 to an assassination that changed the course of European history, and considers the possibility that the bloodline of Mary Queen of Scots - down to and including the present royal family - might have no legitimate right to the throne.
