Description
Charles I's reign was marked by relative stability after his accession in 1625, but this period ended abruptly with the outbreak of civil war seventeen years later. This book examines the personality and policies of Charles I, using a range of primary sources to explore how far he was responsible for his own downfall.
The volume draws on written documents, as well as images such as paintings, coins, and architectural drawings, to shed light on this enigmatic monarch and deeply private man. The result is a nuanced study that offers new insights into the life and reign of one of England's most complex figures.
