Synopsis

This book presents the records of the trial of Edward Coleman, who was indicted for high treason on the grounds of conspiring against King Charles II and attempting to overthrow the Protestant religion in England. Coleman's alleged involvement in a plot to assassinate the king and his correspondence with the confessor of the French king to seek aid for the plot formed the core of the case against him. The book offers a glimpse into the political and religious tensions of 17th century England, shedding light on the complexities of the era. Through the examination of Coleman's actions and the evidence presented against him, the book provides insights into the methods used by those who sought to alter the course of English history during a time of great social and political change.
