Fall of the British Monarchies 1, Paperback by Russell, Conrad, ISBN 0198205880, ISBN-13 9780198205883, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A history of the dramatic events which led to the collapse of Charles I's authority in England, Scotland, and Ireland in the 1640s, this book links incidents in the king's three domains to construct a narrative account which makes sense of British history, as well as of the national story of each country.
