Searching for the Stuarts
The Stuarts , exiled royal family of England and Scotland , resided
in Italy for over 90 years. In 1717 James III Stuart, the “Old Pretender” to the
English crown arrived in Italy coming from France and two years later married

(Bonnie Prince Charlie) and Henry (later Cardinal & Duke of York ) they lived in
many different towns and cities and travelled extensively through the Italian
peninsula some time before the days of the Grand Tour.
