The Countless of Albany

Years after failing to take back the British crown in the Jacobite uprising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart marries the beautiful Princess Louise of Stolberg-Gedern. Despite their fortuitous match, an age difference of decades and difficulty bearing a child proves disastrous for their relationship. The Countess of Albany is a work of history and biography by Vernon Lee.
