Charles I by Christopher W Daniels

Charles I's accession to the throne in 1625 was probably the most untroubled for over 200 years. Yet after seventeen years he found himself involved in a civil war that split the nation in two; he was later deposed, convicted of treason and publicly executed. Through an excellent selection of primary sources this book looks at the personality and policies of Charles I, and considers how far he was responsible for his own destruction. It includes not only written documents, but also paintings, coins and architectural drawings, which help to throw light on this enigmatic monarch and deeply private man. This successful volume in the Cambridge Topics in History series is reprinted with a full colour cover.

After forty years of teaching British, Irish, and European history at Cambridge, John Morrill resigned in 2013. The long historical relationship between England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, situated in a European comparative framework, has piqued my curiosity. He is a member of the British Academy and an Honorary Member of both the Royal Irish Academy and the Academy of Finland. He has written and edited more than twenty books and published more than 100 essays and articles.
