In fact the Stuart line really endures to this day. After Queen Anne, the last Stuart, died childless she was succeeded by George I, the first Hanoverian. In fact George was a direct descendant of Mary the daughter of James I (of England, VI of Scotland) so George I had Stuart blood. Despite numerous family name changes since QE II is essentially a Hanoverian and therefore descended from the Stuarts. My wife and I recently went on a visit of St James's Palace in London arranged by the National Trust. We were shown round by a gentleman whose official title was Serjeant Verger of The Chapel Royal (which is part of the palace). It turned out his other job was to be the curator of the royal ecclesiastical papers, most of which he seemed to have read. He was a one man Da Vinci Code, full of stories of conspiracies and plots. The most amazing thing he said, which was just in passing and he didn't elaborate, was that "Napoleon was a Stuart of course; his real name was Stuarte; Bonaparte came from his mother side". I have tried to verify this on the web and completely I have failed to do so. In fact I have seen genealogies which show Napoleon' father and grandfather as Bonapartes. So controversial to say the least, but this man did know things, had seen the original papers, and emperors did tend to interfere with history to tell the story they wanted heard. Intriguing.

Hi David - I too have heard this before - maybe Michael Stewart/ Lafosse says it in his book, 'Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland'. If not he, then maybe Laurence Gardner somewhere in his work? I will search it out if you are interested? Trish On 11/01/2006, at 9:21 PM, David Quinn wrote: > In fact the Stuart line really endures to this day.
