About This Book

A comprehensive biographical account traces the ruler's rise from accession and coronation through domestic governance, parliamentary practice, and efforts at church reform, including measures against heterodox movements. It describes his reassertion of royal authority, clemency toward rivals, and foundations of religious houses, then turns to continental policy: preparations for, and campaigns in, France with sieges, the march to battle, the celebrated victory, subsequent sieges and diplomacy with European powers, and his marriage to a French princess. The narrative closes with his declining health and death, followed by a careful examination of charges of persecution and several notable legal cases, with supplementary documents and ballads.
