The Trial of Charles I - Softcover
The trial and execution of Charles I shocked all Europe. On 20 November 1648 the Puritan army - Cromwell's army - demanded before the House of Commons that the king be brought to trial. Just over two months later on 30 January 1649, he was beheaded. In her acclaimed account C.V. Wedgood recreates the exciting events of those ten weeks, bringing vividly before us the main actors in this tragic drama: the calm and lonely Charles I and the daunting, iron-willed Cromwell.
