Synopsis
This book explores the first half of King Charles I's reign. It argues that his downfall was caused less by hostility toward his policies than by his own tendency to withdraw into private contemplation, which left his subjects to speculate about his plans, and to believe rumors of a plot between himself, his chief advisor Strafford, and the Pope to establish an absolute monarchy propped up by an army of Irish Catholics. The author, Samuel Rawson Gardiner, has consulted a wide range of primary sources, including not just official documents but private diaries, and presents a picture of Charles as an honorable and dedicated king undermined by his own inward focus. An important and compelling revisionist history that overturns many of the traditional views on Charles I.
