About This Book

The narrative traces the life of an overlooked heir from a secretive birth and uneasy childhood through a lifelong estrangement from his father to his emergence as the center of court factions. It follows his political and financial struggles with government and Parliament, volatile romantic attachments, marriage and family life, episodes of exile and reconciliation, and involvement in military events and dynastic uprisings. Combining anecdote, correspondence, and public record, the account portrays a complex personality whose ambitions, alliances, and premature death curtailed a contested public career.
