Download or read book William III written by A.M. Claydon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William III, William of Orange (1650-1702), is a key figure in English history. Grandson of Charles I and married to Mary, eldest daughter of James II, the pair became the object of protestant hopes after James lost the throne. Though William was personally unpopular - his continental ties the source of suspicion and resentment - Tony Claydon argues that William was key to solving the chronic instability of seventeenth-century Britain and Ireland. It took someone with a European vision and foreign experience of handling a free political system, to end the stand-off between ruler and people that had marred Stuart history. Claydon takes a thematic approach to investigate all these aspects in their wider context, and presents William as the crucial factor in Britain's emergence as a world power, and as a model of open and participatory government.

Download or read book The Stuart Court in Exile and the Jacobites written by Eveline Cruickshanks and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-07-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years Jacobitism has become a subject of growing interst to historians amid academic controversy over various aspects of the subject. The least-known phase of Jacobitism, although in many ways the most important, is the period 1689 to 1718, when the Stuart court in exile was at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the residence of the kings of France until Louis XIV built Versailles. This collection of essays illuminates the early development of Jacobitism, placing the movement in a coherent historical context. The volume includes an introduction by Edward Corp on the Stuart court and an essay by Eveline Cruickshanks on the importance of Jacobitism in Britain and its links with the exiled court. Other essays discuss Jacobite ideology and the Jacobite press; the internal workings and external relations of the exiled court; the abortive invasion of England in 1692; and Jacobite exiles -- comparable in numbers and influence to the Hugeunots in England -- in France.

Download or read book Lord Churchill s Coup written by Stephen S. Webb and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In LORD CHURCHILL’S COUP, Stephen Saunders Webb further advances his revisionist interpretation of the British Empire in the seventeenth century. Having earlier demonstrates that the Anglo=American empire was classic in its form, administered by an army, committed to territorial expansion, and motivated by crusading religion, Webb now argues that both England and its American social experiments were the underdeveloped elements of an empire emerging on both sides of the Atlantic and that the pivotal moment of that empire, the so-called “Glorious Revolution,” was in fact a military coup driven by religious fears. In a vigorous narrative, Webb populates this formative period of the Anglo-American past with colorful and commanding characters. At the center is John Churchill. We see him rise from page boy to earl of Marlborough, winning battlefield glory, influence, and promotion; and his corresponding rise from ensign of the English army taking control of the destiny of the later Stuart monarchs of Britain and America. Webb shows us Churchill increasingly alarmed by the Catholicizing course of his patron, James II, and becoming instrumental in the organization of a successful coup to protect Anglicanism and the constitution. We see the resulting alliance with William of Orange, the Protestant champion of Europe, quickly turn sour as William makes himself king; and we see Churchill, now transformed into imperial politician, once again in power—able to secure the succession of Queen Anne and negotiate the terms of resumption of war against France. Throughout, Webb makes it clear that at the heart of Churchill’s ascent and actions is his vision of America as a decisive factor in the world war between England and France for impersonal supremacy. As the book ends, Churchill’s American agenda thus becomes central to the war aims of the Grand Alliance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trial of the seven bishops in 1688 was a signifcant prelude to the Glorious Revolution, as popular support for the bishops led to a widespread welcome for William of Orange's invasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1910, Ernest Broxap's detailed study of the English Civil War in Lancashire is now a much sought-after reference, valued for its impressive research and use of many original sources. The account covers all the major events which occurred in Lancashire during this turbulent period, including the sieges of Manchester and Lathom House, Prince Rupert's actions in Lancashire - best known for his storming and 'massacre' of Bolton, and the battles of Preston and Wigan, besides recounting numerous less well-known incidents.Helion's edition of The Great Civil War in Lancashire is much more than a straightforward reprint. This new edition features a specially-commissioned essay by Dr Stephen Bull - a noted Lancashire Civil War authority - that outlines Broxap's contribution to ECW history, and summarizes more recently-published works on this subject. In addition, Helion's edition also features a number of Stephen Beck's delightful Civil War sketches (many will doubtless recall Stephen's drawings being featured in Brigadier Peter Young's seminal ECW titles published by Roundwood Press in the 1970s). This edition is printed on high-quality paper, in a limited edition of 500 individually-numbered copies.The Great Civil War in Lancashire is the first in a planned series of high-quality English Civil War titles to be published by Helion.------High-quality reprint of a much sought-after English Civil War study.

Download or read book 1715 written by Daniel Szechi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacking the romantic imagery of the 1745 uprising of supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 has received far less attention from scholars. Yet the ’15, just eight years after the union of England and Scotland, was in fact a more significant threat to the British state. This book is the first thorough account of the Jacobite rebellion that might have killed the Act of Union in its infancy. Drawing on a substantial range of fresh primary resources in England, Scotland, and France, Daniel Szechi analyzes not only large and dramatic moments of the rebellion but also the smaller risings that took place throughout Scotland and northern England. He examines the complex reasons that led some men to rebel and others to stay at home, and he reappraises the economic, religious, social, and political circumstances that precipitated a Jacobite rising. Shedding new light on the inner world of the Jacobites, Szechi reveals the surprising significance of their widely supported but ultimately doomed rebellion.
