On the 19th November in the year 1600,

a boy was born in Scotland at Dunfermline Palace - he was the second son and the third child of the King of Scotland, James VI.

Few could have predicted he would one day be king, not just of Scotland, but also of England and Ireland. No one could have foretold this boy would die on the scaffold for treason…

This boy was of course, Charles James Stuart, who would become Charles I.

Let’s turn back the clock and find out more about Charles’ upbringing and what events and traumas from his childhood influenced his future decisions…

With us today we have author and historian Mark Turnbull.

Welcome, Mark!
