Amazon.com ReviewThe biographer of several prominent English literary figures (including Byron and Keats) turns his attention to a wily politician in this lively portrait of Charles II (1630-85). When he assumed the throne in 1660, Charles had already survived his father's 1649 execution during the English civil war and years of uneasy exile. His restoration had more to do with England's yearning for peace than any desire to reestablish the monarchy's ancient rights, in which Charles fervently believed, and Coote shows the king wielding personal authority and considerable guile to assert prerogatives that his parliament was determined to restrict. Baptized a Catholic on his deathbed, Charles never publicly declared his faith, knowing it would be unacceptable in Protestant England, nor did he let it interfere with his lighthearted affairs. Nonetheless, he was fond of his queen and refused to discard her when she failed to produce an heir. His political maneuvers ensured the peaceful succession of his brother James, who managed in a scant four years to provoke England's bloodless "Glorious Revolution" and the lasting abrogation of royal powers Charles had astutely maintained in trying times. Writing with vigor and color that suit his pleasure-loving subject, Coote limns a man of contradictions in an engaging work of popular biography. --Wendy Smith Prince Charles: Second World War lessons in danger of Prince Charles: Second World War lessons in danger of being forgotten THE Prince of Wales has said the world is in danger of "forgetting the lessons of the past" Culture - Telegraph Online Daily Telegraph Sunday Telegraph Offers news comment and features about the British arts scene with sections on books films music theatre art and architecture Requires free registration Escape of Charles II - Wikipedia The Escape of Charles II from England in 1651 was a key episode in his life Although only taking six weeks it had a major effect on his attitudes for the rest of CBS Shows - Primetime Daytime Late Night & Classics Watch full episodes and clips of Primetime Daytime Late Night and Classic shows on CBScom Talk with other fans catch up with your favorite shows and more NOTICE BOARD - NEWS - Royal Marines Band Service West Country Reunion Portal West Country Reunion proposal 2013 West Country Reunion 2011 German ancestry Sexual perversion in the royal family Links and notes regarding: HRH Prince Charles of Wales Is He The Prince who shall Come and the Final AntiChrist the head of the1 st Beast from Revelation 13?
