White King, Or, Charles the First, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

An engrossing history of Charles I (1600-1649), also known as the White King, and the age he lived in. His reign was punctuated by religious conflicts; he was later tried, convicted, and executed for high treason. The author examines Charles the First’s life, but also the culture of England at the time—including the era’s customs, manners, art, and literature.
