His father's execution and his own many years of exile made him a guarded, curious, unusually self-conscious ruler. He lived through some of the most striking events in the national history - from the Civil Wars to the Great Plague, from the Fire of London to the wars with the Dutch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClare Jackson's marvellous book takes full advantage of its irrepressible subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55491388932482,"sku":"9780141987453","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9780141987453.jpg?v=1753745885","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.pro\/products\/9780141987453","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
