This book chronicles the tumultuous years of the reign of King Charles I, from 1641 to 1647, charting the course of the English Civil War. It examines the interconnected events of the period, including the conflicts in Scotland and the revolt in Ireland, alongside the social and religious upheavals in England.

The narrative adopts a historical approach, focusing on the unfolding events and their immediate impact, offering insights into the motivations and confusions experienced by those living through them. It highlights the political, military, and economic factors that shaped the conflict, examining local incidents and lesser-known figures to illustrate the war's complexities. The book emphasises the perspective of the Royalists, presenting the war not as an inevitable Parliamentary victory, but as a struggle with an uncertain outcome.
