Мир короля Карла I. Накануне Великого мятежа: Англия погружается в смуту. 1637–1641 - С. В. Веджвуд

The English historian S.W. Wedgwood is known for her research on the era of the English Civil War in the 17th century. This book examines the beginning of this historical drama, the first four years of Charles I's reign, during which the country found itself on the brink of civil war. The author describes the political, economic, and religious divisions that led to the growing tragedy in three countries of the British Isles - England, Scotland, and Ireland: she tells of the uprising of the Scottish Covenanters, the battles in the English Parliament, the terrible fate of the Lord Deputy of Ireland, the Earl of Strafford, and the events of those few years that influenced the history of both Britain and continental Europe.
