"No English monarch's life can match that of Charles I for sheer drama. The most controversial and most tragic of England's 'royal aesthetes,' he was a complex man, lamentably unsuited to the role of seventeenth-century king. Though he was high-minded, industrious, brave, dignified, and pious, Charles's obstinacy of belief and obliviousness to political reality led him inexorably toward public execution at the hands of his subjects, and led England toward a precedent-setting republican revolution" [from the dust jacket]
