About this Episode
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. Was James a tyrant blinded by belief, or a visionary undone by his own time?
