Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Regicides: Or the Story of Three of the Judges Who Condemned to the Punishment of Death King Charles I., Of England, Who Was Executed January 30, 1649 We have been able to discover no details of that sad 'de parture. Whalley was at the time an old man of between sixty and seventy years. There was probably a wife whom he would see no more. There was also a little boy, a few years old, the child of his old age, besides several children that were grown and mature, and who loved and venerated their father; for he was a highly respectable as well as a deeply pious man. Gofie, too, could not have left his home Without a pang. A lovely and excellent wife clung to him in that last embrace, and little children sorrowed at the going away - they knew not where - of their fond father.

Download or read book The King s Revenge written by Don Jordan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Charles I was executed, his son made it his role to seek out retribution, producing the biggest manhunt Britain had ever seen, one that would span Europe and America and would last for thirty years. When he ascended to the throne in 1660 as Charles II, his search for revenge intensified, with show trials in London and assassination squads scouring foreign countries. Many of the most senior figures in England were hanged, drawn and quartered; imprisoned for life; or consigned to a self-imposed exile, in constant fear of the assassin's bullet.History has painted the regicides and their supporters as fanatics, but among them were exceptional men, including John Milton, poetic genius and political propagandist; Oliver Cromwell's steely son-in-law, Henry Ireton; and the errant son of an earl, Algernon Sidney, whose writings helped inspire the founders of the American Revolution. Cromwell himself was subjected to the most bizarre symbolic revenge when—though long-dead—his body was disinterred and beheaded.Set in an age of intrigue and betrayal, The King's Revenge brings these remarkable figures vividly to life in an engrossing tale of ambition, double agents, and espionage.

This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, Anne Clifford has been known primarily for her Knole Diary, edited by Vita Sackville-West, which recounted her steadfast resistance to the most authoritative figures of her culture, including James I, as she insisted on her right to inherit her father's title and lands. Lucy Hutchinson was known primarily as the biographer of her husband, a Puritan leader during the English Civil Wars. The essays collected here examine not only these texts but, in Clifford's case, her architectural restorations and both the Great Book which she had compiled and the Great Picture which she commissioned, in order to explore the identity she fashioned for herself as a property owner, matriarchal head of her family, patron and historian. In Hutchinson's case, recent scholars have turned their attention to her poetry, her translation of Lucretius and her biblical epic, Order and Disorder, to analyze her contributions to early modern scientific and political writing and to place her work in relation to Milton's Paradise Lost.
