King Charles's Pirate Prince To his fellow Royalists, fighting for
King Charles I, Prince Rupert of the Rhine was the archetypal
'cavalier'. Young, handsome, expert horseman, crack pistol shot,
his swaggering style irritated the stuffier of the king's courtiers
almost as much as the 'Roundheads' they were fighting. To the
parliamentarians, above all Oliver Cromwell, he was the ultimate
'malignant', one of those Royalists who fought on even after
Charles was executed in 1649. Rupert commanded the Royalist forces
in exile, at one point reduced to little more than pirates before
the triumphant restoration of the monarchy in 1660. In Charles
Spencer's thoroughly researched account, Prince Rupert is revealed
as more than just a great general and dashing cavalier. He was a
scientist and classical scholar too: a true renaissance prince.
From his dramatic childhood escape through the snows of Bohemia to
respected older statesman, this is the first comprehensive
biography of the greatest cavalier of them all.
