Abstract
When David Nairne first opened negotiations with the Pope and the Camera Apostolica to find a suitable palazzo in Rome to house the Stuart court, he had to bear in mind three important points. It had to be large enough to provide accommodation for the entire household, it had to be close enough to the Quirinale to provide easy access to the Pope; and, if at all possible, it had to have a garden. The Duke of Mar was pessimistic and told James that “I much doubt if you will easily find a house at Rome, which could lodge all your people that were in the house of Urbino.”1
