Description

This compelling book from Mark Stoyle sets out to uncover the true history of Boy, the canine companion of Charles Is famous nephew, Prince Rupert. Like his master, Boy was held to possess dark powers and was elevated to celebrity status as a dog-witch during the English Civil War of 1642-46. Many scholars have remarked upon the fantastical rumours which circulated about Prince Rupert and his dog, but no-one has investigated the source of these rumours, or explored how the supernatural element of the princes public image developed over time. In this book, Mark Stoyle recounts the occult stories which centred upon Prince Rupert and his dog. He shows how those stories grew out of, and contributed to, the changing pattern of witch-belief in England during the Civil War. Shortlisted for the Folklore Societys Katharine Briggs Award 2012.
