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.
