There has never been a more turbulent reign in British history than that of Charles I.
If you love the works of Charles Spencer, Tracy Borman or Antonia Fraser then you will love this.
The rule of this slight, stammering king still provokes intense debate to this day. Was he a royal martyr wrongfully beheaded or was he a tyrant who refused to abide by the laws of the land?
John Bowle's nuanced account provides an enlightening reassessment of King Charles I's life. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Bowle uncovers the life of this man who always stayed true to his beliefs even to the point of obstinacy.
Charles I: A Biography provides vivid insight into the whole sweep of Jacobean and Caroline Britain, demonstrating how the constitutional, religious and social conflicts that were developing during the reign of James I boiled over into violent civil strife during Charles' reign. Few other books have given such a fair assessment of this Stuart monarch whose reign undoubtedly deserves re-examination.
"this urbanely written account with its lively descriptions of the great Civil War battles may appeal to readers of C. V. Wedgwood" Kirkus Reviews
