Description
Charles I, the monarch at the helm of a disintegrating kingdom, left an indelible mark on the face of the monarchy. His reign was one of the most dramatic in history, marked by glamour, strong women, and populist politicians, as well as religious terror and mass movements.
Yet, despite the epic story unfolding during his reign, Charles the man remains elusive. This biography offers a gripping piece of revisionist history, shedding light on the myths that still surround him. With a focus on the key players and events of his time, it is a story that speaks to our own divided and dangerous times.
