About the authors

King of England Charles I

1600–1649

A king shaped by deep belief in royal authority, and destroyed by the conflicts it sparked, stands at the center of one of the most dramatic periods in British history. His reign led to civil war, trial, and execution—and changed the monarchy forever.

John Gauden

1605–1662

A churchman and writer in turbulent seventeenth-century England, he is best remembered for the long-running debate over whether he wrote the royalist classic Eikon Basilike. His career carried him from parish ministry and preaching into high church office after the Restoration.
