Summary

This third volume in the trilogy describing the English Civil War recounts the trial and subsequent execution of King Charles I, events which were felt by many contemporaries to be the most horrifying of the war.

The Trial of Charles I Summary

The Trial of Charles I by C. V. Wedgwood

The trial and execution of Charles I shocked all Europe. On 20 November 1648 the Puritan army - Cromwell's army - demanded before the House of Commons that the king be brought to trial. Just over two months later on 30 January 1649, he was beheaded. In her acclaimed account C.V. Wedgood recreates the exciting events of those ten weeks, bringing vividly before us the main actors in this tragic drama: the calm and lonely Charles I and the daunting, iron-willed Cromwell.
