The reign of Charles I, defined by religious conflict, a titanic power struggle with Parliament - culminating in the English Civil Wars, the execution of the king and the brief abolition of the monarchy - was one of the most turbulent in English history. This title presents the dramatic events of the trial and Charles' final days.
Focusing on William, Count of Nassau and Prince of Orange, this biographical work delves into his leadership during the Netherlands' revolt against Philip II of Spain. C. V. Wedgwood masterfully intertwines his life story with the broader context of a tumultuous era marked by political, religious, and economic upheaval, offering a vivid portrayal of early modern Europe. The book stands out as both a detailed biography and a significant historical analysis, illuminating the complexities of the time.
