The_Buckingham_and_Charles_I examines England’s political and foreign drama in the 1620s, centered on the shadow cast by Buckingham and the king’s evolving diplomacy.
Drawing on years of correspondence and state papers, this volume traces the arc from court intrigues to bold military ventures, including naval expeditions and the tense diplomacy with France, Spain, and Denmark. It weaves together the pressures of Parliament, the ambitions of courtiers, and the king’s attempts to steer a cautious path through European power politics.
Ideal for readers seeking a focused, documentary-style view of mid‑1610s to late‑1620s England and its tense path toward war and reconciliation on the continent.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the events that led to the failed expedition to Cadiz in 1625 under the command of Buckingham. As England's relationship with Spain deteriorated, Charles I authorized the deployment of a formidable fleet. The political and diplomatic machinations behind the decision to dispatch the expedition to Cadiz, where the Spanish treasure fleet was situated, are carefully detailed. The expedition's commander, Sir Edward Cecil, was a capable soldier but had little experience of naval warfare. The fleet, composed of newly levied and ill-disciplined troops, was beset by infighting and shortages. The book offers a granular account of the expedition's disastrous progress, from the failed attack on Fort Puntal to the ignominious return to England. This book provides a valuable historical account of a significant episode in the run-up to the English Civil War, revealing the complexities of early 17th-century diplomacy and warfare.
