The execution of Charles I in 1649, followed by the proclamation of
a Commonwealth, was an extraordinary political event. It followed a
bitter Civil War between parliament and the king, and their abject
failure to negotiate a peace settlement. Why the king was defeated
and executed has long been a central question in English history.
The old answers, whether those of the historian S R Gardiner or of
Lawrence Stone, no longer satisfy. Clive Holmes supplies clear
answers to eight key questions about the period, ranging from why
the king had to summon the Long Parliament to whether there was in
fact an English Revolution at all.
