Synopsis

This book, an in-depth study of Charles I's execution, questions long-held beliefs about the event. An analysis of recently examined primary source documents, including the warrant, reveals significant discrepancies and suggests that the course of events may have been quite different from the accepted historical narrative. An exploration of broader motivations for the king's death and the influence of religious and political tensions on the decisions of those involved weaves a complex and deeply researched narrative. The author delves into the broader historical context of the era, painting a vivid portrait of the conflicting forces that shaped the fate of Charles I and his kingdom. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional interpretations of the king's execution, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most momentous events in British history.
