Description

King Charles II by Antonia Fraser. The story of King Charles II is one of enduring fascination if only because, as Bishop Burnet wrote, he was the greatest instance in history of the various revolutions of which one man was capable. the golden childhood of the boy Prince in the Van Dyck pictures gave way to an adventurous youth in Civil War England and abroad, ending traumatically when his father was executed in 1649. Charles II, King at eighteen, succeeded to 'nothing but the name'. After his valiant attempt to regain the throne was defeated by Cromwell at Worcester, the King made his epic escape to years of exile, poverty and humiliation in Europe. The dust jacket has tape repairs and general wear along the edges but the book remains tight and bright. A very large book that will require additional freight.
