Description
Charles I's execution in 1649 was a pivotal moment in English history, following years of bitter conflict between parliament and the king. Clive Holmes explores eight key questions about this period, shedding new light on the events that led to the king's downfall.
The old explanations for Charles I's fate no longer satisfy, and Holmes provides clear answers to these enduring questions. From the circumstances surrounding the summoning of the Long Parliament to the nature of the English Revolution itself, Holmes offers a fresh perspective on this complex period.
