Download or read book Charles the Second, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland written by Ronald Hutton. This book was released on 1989. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly biography of the king who is remembered by the English with more popular affection than almost any other. Covering his entire life, it takes in his colourful years as a prince and as an exiled monarch during the Civil War and Interregnum, in addition to his later career as effective ruler of three kingdoms. A unique feature of Ronald Hutton's authoritative study is the attention given to Charles's reign over Scotland and Ireland, as well as England, giving us the first united history of the British Isles in this period. The work is based throughout on all the known surviving sources, some of which have never been used before. This lively and comprehensive biography fills an important gap in Stuart historiography, and will be indispensable to anyone interested in the period.

Book Synopsis Charles II and his Escape into Exile by : Martyn R. Beardsley
Download or read book Charles II and his Escape into Exile written by Martyn R. Beardsley. This book was released on 2020-02-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English king’s epic escape from his own country is thrillingly recounted in this authoritative history. Though the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed him king in 1649, Charles II faced a formidable enemy in England. His attempt to reclaim the throne ended in defeat at the Battle of Worcester—and thus began the battle to save his own life. Pursued wherever he went by soldiers from the conflict as well as local militia, Charles donned peasant clothing, crudely cut his hair, and tried to adopt a rustic accent. With the secret help of a succession of loyal citizens, he walked till his feet were shredded, waded rivers, coolly mixed with anti-royalists and enemy troopers—and, famously, hid in an oak tree. Never sure of who could be trusted, his peregrinations eventually led to a port in West Sussex where he could secure passage to safety across the Channel. “Unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as community, college, and university library Historical Royal British Biographies collections.” —Midwest Book Review
