About the book

The Trial of Charles I recounts the extraordinary proceedings against King Charles I after the English Civil Wars. It follows the creation of the High Court of Justice, the charge that the king had waged war against his own people, Charles's refusal to recognise the court's authority, and the constitutional arguments surrounding kingship, Parliament and political accountability. The trial became a decisive moment in British history and in debates over the limits of royal power.
