James II: The Restoration's Last Catholic King
Was King James II a tyrant blinded by belief, or a visionary undone by his own time?
A king with unyielding faith. A nation on the brink. A crown lost to revolution.
King James II is often dismissed as the unfortunate monarch swept aside by William and Mary. But behind the Glorious Revolution lies a story of ambition, devotion, and downfall more dramatic than legend would suggest.
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb joins Dr. Breeze Barrington to uncover the man behind the myth.
Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Max Wintle. Edited and produced by Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
