Sanctified Royalty: Jacobite Relics and the Divine Right of Kings - 16th August

Description

Beautiful items from Jacobite collections and archives explore the cult of divinity surrounding Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Historically important Jacobite collections and archives are held at Stonyhurst College, including some very precious art objects. Dr Janet Graffius, Curator of the Stonyhurst collections and an internationally acclaimed expert, will use some of these artefacts to explore the cult of divinity that surrounded the Scottish royal family, from Mary Queen of Scots to Prince Charles Edward Stuart. The talk will include an opportunity to see extraordinary Stuart relics and memorabilia up close -- as well as a unique recipe for King James’s Gingerbread!
