Wolverhampton: Prince Rupert of The Rhine – King Charles I’s Pirate Prince

Wed 23rd February 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm GMT

  • « On Line Event: Heir Hunting: The Real Deal
  • Stourbridge: A Yeomanry Trooper with Lawrence of Arabia »

An exciting presentation by Max Keen who will be dressed in period costume.

Prince Rupert was the nephew of King Charles I and one of the English Civil War’s most paradoxical heroes.   Handsome, impetuous and courageous, he was the epitome of the ‘Cavalier’, yet he was born a German prince and a protestant.   As the Royalist General of Horse, he was a brilliant strategist, but a volatile and impetuous tactician.   He also served the royalist cause as an Admiral and in later life commanded fleets against the Dutch.

 

Doors open at 7.15 p.m. for a 7.30 p.m. start
