Mike Walker's epic chronicle considers the early years of William of Orange and his marriage to James II's daughter, Mary Stuart. By marrying his English cousin, Dutch William looks to cement an alliance between the two countries and halt Louis XIV's land-grabbing march across Europe. Neither partnership gets off to an auspicious start.
