A Court in Exile by Edward Corp
When King James II was deposed during the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688-89 he and his family fled to France, to live in the Chateau of Saint-Germain near Versailles. This is the first full study of the magnificent setting and workings of James's court-in-exile and of its rich cultural patronage.
