Charles I provides a detailed overview of Charles Stuart, placing
his reign firmly within the wider context of this turbulent period
and examining the nature of one of the most complex monarchs in
British history. The book is organised chronologically, beginning
in 1600 and covering Charles' early life, his first difficulties
with his parliaments, the Personal Rule, the outbreak of Civil War,
and his trial and eventual execution in 1649. Interwoven with
historiography, the book emphasises the impact of Charles'
challenging inheritance on his early years as king and explores the
transition from his original championing of international
Protestantism to his later vision of a strong and centralised
monarchy influenced by continental models, which eventually
provoked rebellion and civil war across his three kingdoms. This
study brings to light the mass of contradictions within Charles'
nature and his unusual approach to monarchy, resulting in his
unrivaled status as the only English king to have been tried and
executed by his own subjects. Offering a fresh approach to this
significant reign and the fascinating character that held it,
Charles I is the perfect book for students of early modern Britain
and the English Civil War.
