Charles I and the Road to Personal Rule (repost)

Charles I and the Road to Personal Rule By L. J. Reeve
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2003 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 0521521335 | PDF | 8 MB

This study of the character and policies of Charles I provides an analysis of the political crisis leading to his personal rule in England during the years before the civil wars. It fills a gap in the historical literature of the period by integrating ideological with political developments and English with international affairs. It is also a contribution to the wider European history of a critical phase of the Thirty Years War. The book offers a new way of understanding Charles by demonstrating how ill-suited his personality was to the workings of the political world.
