Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous period surrounding the proposed marriage of Prince Charles, the future Charles I, to the Infanta Maria, a Spanish princess. The author vividly recounts the political machinations and social anxieties that gripped England as the nation awaited the outcome of the negotiations. The book explores the complex web of alliances and rivalries that entangled England with Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. The author highlights the political and religious tensions of the era, examining the delicate balancing act between Protestantism and Catholicism that defined English society. Through detailed accounts of the events, the author explores the personalities of key figures such as Charles, his father James I, and the powerful Duke of Buckingham. The book offers a glimpse into the intricacies of royal court life, the challenges of diplomacy, and the shifting tides of public opinion in a time marked by uncertainty and change. Ultimately, the author provides a compelling account of the fascinating and often fraught relationship between England and Spain during the early 17th century, shedding light on the events that ultimately led to the demise of the Spanish match and the eventual marriage of Charles to Henrietta Maria of France. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
