Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales

"Henry Frederick Stuart, Prince of Wales (19 February 1594 – 6 November 1612) was the elder son of King James I & VI and Anne of Denmark. His name derives from his grandfathers: Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley and Frederick II of Denmark. Prince Henry was widely seen as a bright and promising heir to his father's thrones. However, at the age of 18, he predeceased his father when he died of typhoid fever. His younger brother Charles succeeded him as heir apparent to the English and Scottish thrones."

________________________________________________________________ Prince Henry Fredrick Stuart seemed destined to be king
By Steven Brocklehurst
BBC Scotland News
Henry Frederick Stuart seemed destined to become one of the most powerful and influential kings in history but his name is now almost unknown.

Henry was the heir to James VI of Scotland, who became the king of England and Ireland when his son was just nine years old.

The young prince was brought up by strict governors to be the perfect example of a Renaissance Protestant monarch and was looked on to secure the Stuart dynasty for generations.

But the course of history was changed by a swim in the Thames when Henry was only 18.
Prepared for the role
Henry Stuart's life spanned an extraordinary period in British history.

The Union of the Crowns, the Gunpowder Plot, colonial expansion and the age of Shakespeare were just some of the more notable episodes.

Henry was schooled to display all the outward signs of kingship, with his father even writing a book to advise him on his role - Basilikon Doron.

However, when King James died it was Henry's younger brother Charles who took the throne and eventually led England into the turmoil of the Civil War.

Turbulent times

Henry was brought up at Stirling Castle
A BBC Scotland documentary - The Best King We Never Had - looks at the life of the man who could have been England's Henry IX (His grandmother Mary, Queen of Scots was the great-niece of Henry VIII).

He was born in Stirling Castle in 1594 and, as the first child of James and his Danish wife Anne, Henry was celebrated as guaranteeing the succession of the Stuart bloodline.

The slaughter of the Scottish Reformation was just a generation away and James VI had become the first Protestant monarch of Scotland.

The country was still divided though and many Catholics longed for a return to the old faith.

Relations with England were also tense.

Only seven years before Henry's birth, England's Tudor queen, Elizabeth, executed her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots.

Enforced separation
King James believed Henry needed to be kept safe and, at just days old, he was taken from his mother and fostered into the care of the Mar family.

They were the hereditary keepers of Stirling Castle and historically the guardians of Scottish princes.
