【BBC女王的宫殿】圣十字架宫29
圣十字架宫是王室血腥历史的见证。历史上有名的苏格兰玛丽女王——号称当时最美丽的女人就曾住在城堡塔楼中。玛丽15岁嫁给法国王室,19岁丈夫去世又回到苏格兰,在民众拥戴中登上王位。玛丽女王在叛变中失掉王位并逃往英格兰,囚禁19年后被处死。玛丽女王的秘书在塔楼中被刺56刀而死,现在这里还立着一块指示牌。这就不难理解为什么圣十字架宫会经常传出闹鬼的传闻了。

And if you want to check out a family characteristic, have a look at the noses.
But the Stuart hold on power was not at tight as the family had hoped. The Dynasty, so often rocked by religious difference lost both the Scottish and English crowns. By 1715, a distant German cousin, reliably Protestant, sat on the throne. Once again, Holyroodhouse looked a long way from the centre of power but one direct Stuart descendant would return to try to re-establish Stuart rule. He was known as the Young Pretender, but would go down in history as Bonnie Prince Charlie.狄维不算是最好的画家,所以可能是有心,亦可能是无意。这些画像都很相似,但用意在于把斯图亚特王朝的国王,全部集中于一室。如果你想找家族的特征,请看看他们的鼻子,但斯图亚特王朝的权力,并不如王族的期望中那么稳固。王朝一再受制于宗教差异,又失去英格兰和苏格兰的皇位。1715年一位德裔远亲登上皇位,皆因他是新教徒,可以信赖、荷里路德宫再一次远离权力中心,但有位斯图亚特后裔卷土重来,尝试重建王朝,他被称为“幼僭王”。历史书把他称为“小查理王子”。
