William And Mary: The Court Divided
from Gresham College Lectures · host Gresham College
Like James I, King William III was fundamentally unhappy with the stuffy formality of England's vast crumbling royal estate. But unlike James, who virtually abandoned Edinburgh, William maintained a second court, and a parallel suite of royal houses, in the Netherlands. Mostly ignored by English historians, these houses are the key to understanding the style that we now know as William and Mary, and its impact on England.A lecture by Simon Thurley 10 JuneThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/william-mary-court-dividedGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
