Once shy and retiring, an awkward stutterer, he grew in stature and confidence under the guidance of the Duke of Buckingham; his marriage to Henrietta of Spain, originally planned to end the conflict between the two nations, became, after rocky beginnings, a true love match. Charles I is best remembered for having started the English Civil War in 1642 which led to his execution for treason, the end of the monarchy, and the establishment of a commonwealth until monarchy was restored in 1660. Hibbert's masterful biography re-creates the world of Charles I, his court, artistic patronage, and family life, while tracing the course of events that led to his execution for treason in 1649.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hibbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.23h x 5.59w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781403983787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Hibbert\u003c\/b\u003e, \"a pearl of biographers\" (\u003ci\u003eNew Statesman), \u003c\/i\u003e is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the author of \u003ci\u003eDisraeli \u003c\/i\u003e (Palgrave Macmillan), \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of the House of Medici, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe English: A Social History, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCavaliers and Roundheads.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in Oxfordshire, England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44306075910259,"sku":"9781403983787","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_a020df97-7125-4959-992f-f1144d0ca32d.jpg?v=1770989531","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/charles-i-a-life-of-religion-war-and-treason-a-life-of-religion-war-and-treason-9781403983787","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
