Arranged Love Blossom: The Stuart Edition

Welcome to our Royal Romance season.

We’re continuing with the #StuartSpring series, but this is the finale of the Royal Valentines season.

Today we’re going to look at two Stuart couples that found love within their marriage, despite their unions being arranged.

First up, we have Mark Turnbull who will tell us all about Elisabeth Stuart,

daughter of James VI & I, and her husband Frederick V of Bohemia.

Next up, concluding this year’s Royal Valentines, we have Andrea Zuvich, and she’ll tell us about the unexpected feelings of Mary II & William III,

the joint King and Queen, the heroes of the Glorious Revolution.
