DESTINY tells the story of England's first Stuart King, James; his triumphant journey to the English Court and his constant struggle to survive the ruthless politics of 17c England.

The untold story of the Stuarts, the extraordinary British royal dynasty from Scotland. More volatile, glamorous and treacherous than their Tudor predecessors, they came from the lawless wilds of Scotland to rule one of the greatest nations in the world. They founded a royal dynasty that would falter on the axe-man's block and culminate in civil war, revolution and the execution of a King. DESTINY tells the story of England's first Stuart King, James; his baptism of fire as boy-King of Scotland, his triumphant journey to the English Court and his constant struggle to survive the ruthless politics of 17c England, dominated by intense religious and social conflict. It is a dangerous story of plots, assassination attempts, sexual exploits and high politics, witchcraft and superstition. It is the also story of a Renaissance Prince who ruled in a golden age of English literature and art. Ferociously intelligent, James presided over a court which became a mecca for leading artists including Shakespeare, Jonson, Byrd, and Donne. A philosopher-prince, James authored works of political philosophy and commissioned one of the greatest works of English literature, the King James Bible.
