Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham and a prominent figure in 17th-century English politics. As King James I's favorite and later a minister under Charles I, Buckingham played a central role in shaping England's domestic and foreign policies. The author traces Buckingham's rise from a promising courtier to a powerful minister who controlled appointments and influenced decision-making. The book examines the extent of Buckingham's influence on the court, including his role in the downfall of rivals and the advancement of his family. It also analyzes Buckingham's pivotal role in England's relationship with Spain, particularly in the negotiations for the marriage of Prince Charles to the Spanish Infanta. The author argues that Buckingham's ambition and vanity ultimately led to his downfall, contributing to the growing tensions between the monarchy and Parliament. The book sheds light on the inner workings of the Stuart court, the complexities of court politics, and the evolving relationship between the Crown and its subjects during a period of significant social and political change. By placing Buckingham's career within the context of the struggle between royal absolutism and parliamentary sovereignty, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities of early 17th-century England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334731778_0
