C. V. Wedgwood reconstructs the tense, unprecedented courtroom drama with meticulous scholarship and vivid prose, illuminating the political, legal, and personal forces that converged to bring King Charles Stuart to the scaffold. With authoritative precision, she details the ideological clash between a king who refused to recognize the court's legitimacy and the Parliamentarians determined to make an example of him for all of history. The tone is measured yet gripping, balancing the intimacy of personal portraiture with the sweep of revolutionary politics. A landmark work of seventeenth-century English history, it remains an essential account of how a nation redefined the limits of royal power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792238751963,"sku":"2026600000392-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cd30a0ba-d529-4825-84c5-660263cec850.png?v=1779273786","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000392-secondhand-the-trial-of-charles-i","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
