"Famed for her beauty, Anna, daughter of Lord Seaforth, married Alexander Lindsay, later Ist Earl of Balcarres, at the age of nineteen in 1640. An idyllic life at Balcarres Castle in Fife came to an abrupt end with the Civil War, and when Balcarres raised an army to fight for Charles II and was defeated by Cromwell, the family was forced to flee to Holland. Reduced to great poverty, 'the angel of the exiled court' became a governess to Prince William of Orange, the future William III." "Returning to Scotland after the tragic death of her husband, Anna showed immense courage and fortitude in saving the family estates from bankruptcy, and found much-needed solace in her marriage to Archibald, 9th Earl of Argyll. But tranquillity vanished again when Argyll was beheaded for his part in the attempt to overthrow James VII and II of 1685, and Anna herself was imprisoned." "Based on a wide range of documentary evidence, including Anna's personal correspondence, Lady Mary McGrigor's book is a vivid and moving portrait of a remarkable woman as well as a lucid account of one of the most fascinating periods in Scottish, British and European history."--BOOK JACKET.
