Rupert, Prince Palatine

"Rupert, Prince Palatine" by Eva Scott is a detailed story about the life of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, especially his role in the English Civil War. The story begins by addressing how people saw Rupert in different ways, either as a hero or someone causing trouble. It then looks at his family history, starting with his parents, Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth Stuart, and how they were involved in big political and war events in Europe. The author makes clear Rupert's love for adventure and war from a young age, as well as the tough times his family went through early on, setting the scene for Rupert's future adventures and contributions to history.
