Download or read book Charles I written by Mark Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Celebrations for the Wedding of Charles I and Henrietta Maria 1625 written by Marie-Claude Canova-Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the 1625 marriage of Charles I and Henrietta Maria, this volume reveals the differences and misunderstandings beneath the outward celebration of union and concord, showing how an alliance which promised well for future relations between Britain and France could soon turn to tensions and acts of hostility. A relatively low-key affair by early modern standards, the controversial union between a Protestant king and a Catholic princess was nonetheless celebrated in a variety of events in Paris and London, and in the small towns along the route between. There were triumphal entries; masques and court ballets were planned (if not actually performed) and there were banquets, balls and fireworks. Henrietta Maria was met by Charles at Dover and they entered London in a river procession up the Thames to Whitehall. In the following days the wedding festivities continued with banquets, dancing and jousting until the spread of the plague forced Charles and Henrietta Maria to flee London. Whilst there have been recent studies of Stuart court culture, this is the first volume to deal specifically with the 1625 wedding. The fifteen chapters in the collection analyse the various celebrations in both England and France from an interdisciplinary perspective, putting them into their intellectual, cultural and political contexts. As well as filling an important gap in the scholarship of this period, the book also complements recent publications on other comparable dynastic marriages, such as the 1613 Palatine wedding celebrations, 1615 Hapsburgâe"Bourbon union and the failed Spanish match of 1623. As such it will be of interest to students and scholars working in the field of early modern festivals, as well as historians, art and theatre historians, literature and material culture specialists, and musicologists.

Download or read book Charles I written by Christopher Hibbert and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-06-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Charles Stuart was a young child, it seemed unlikely that he would survive, let alone become ruler of England and Scotland. Once shy and retiring, an awkward stutterer, he grew in stature and confidence under the guidance of the Duke of Buckingham; his marriage to Henrietta of Spain, originally planned to end the conflict between the two nations, became, after rocky beginnings, a true love match. Charles I is best remembered for having started the English Civil War in 1642 which led to his execution for treason, the end of the monarchy, and the establishment of a commonwealth until monarchy was restored in 1660. Hibbert's masterful biography re-creates the world of Charles I, his court, artistic patronage, and family life, while tracing the course of events that led to his execution for treason in 1649.

Download or read book The King and the Gentleman written by Derek Wilson and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all the myth surrounding Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I, there is no detailed account of any meeting between them. Yet they were almost exact contemporaries, embodying virtually everything for which politicians, bishops, preachers and generals contended. The paths of these two men gradually converged until a frosty morning in 1649, when the executioner's axe ended one man's life and raised the other to the brink of absolute power in England. In his moving history The King and the Gentleman, Derek Wilson brings to life the politics and the personalities that once shook an empire. "Wilson does an admirable job of covering the complex religious and political schism that rocked England and Scotland, and summarizes for general readers the wealth of extant material on both men’s lives." - Kirkus Reviews
