"Cavalier Capital", the first detailed account of Oxford's role as
"Royalist capital" to appear for almost three-quarters of a
century, examines all aspects of Oxford's experience in the English
Civil War. As well as the effects on the town and university,
special emphasis is placed on the various aspects of the Royalist
occupation, including its role as a major manufacturing centre of
munitions and armoury. The King's court and the operation of
Royalist government and administration are examined, as are the
organisation and life of the soldiers of the garrison. Leading
personalities are described, as well as the military campaigns
which were focused on Oxford during the war. The final siege
leading to the fall of Oxford is also described. The book makes
full use of both contemporary and modern accounts, and research,
and is copiously illustrated with contemporary and modern
illustrations.
