[EAN: 9781405859035], Neubuch, [PU: Longman Publishing Group, London], Paperback. Charles I was a complex man whose career intersected with some of the most dramatic events in English history. He played a central role in provoking the English Civil War, and his execution led to the only republican government Britain has ever known. Historians have struggled to get him into perspective, veering between outright condemnation and measured sympathy. Richard Cust shows that Charles I was not 'unfit to be a king', emphasising his strengths as a party leader and conviction politician, but concludes that, none the less, his prejudices and attitudes, and his mishandling of political crises did much to bring about a civil war in Britain. He argues that ultimately, after the war, Charles pushed his enemies into a position where they had little choice but to execute him. The best available biography of Charles I. The first full length biography of Charles I to be published for over twenty years Extremely popular period of history - will be of interest to the thousands of re-enactors involved in societies such as the 'Sealed Knot' Hardback edition received outstanding reviews in the history press Longman books on this period, such as Coward's "The Stuart Age" and Lockyer's "Tudor and Stuart Britain" have an excellent sales record Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability., Books<
