One of the iconic moments in English history, the trial and
execution of King Charles I has yet to be studied in-depth from a
contemporary legal perspective. Professor Ian Ward brings his
considerable legal and historical acumen to bear on the particular
constitutional issues raised by the regicide of Charles, and not
only analyses the unfolding of events and their immediate
historical context, but also draws out their wider importance and
legacy for the generations of historians, politicians, and writers
over the ensuing three and a half centuries. This is a book about
constitutional history and thought, but also about the writing of
constitutional history and thought and the forms they have taken
-whether as scholarship, polemics, or literary experiments - in
collective British memory. Chapters range from the events leading
up to and through the trial and execution of Charles; to their
theatricality, legality, and constitutionality; to the political
writings such as Milton's Tenure of Kings and Hobbes' Leviathan
that followed; and finally trace the various subsequent histories
and trials of Charles I that presented him either as martyr, Tory
or -- in the 18th and 19th centuries -- the Whig.
