King Charles or King Oliver?
The Civil War ended with the ‘rebel’ Army triumphant, a regicide republic, and eventually Oliver Cromwell as dictator. Within two years of his death the regime had broken up; chaos led to Charles II being invited back. What if Cromwell had lived longer, or his regime turned into a stabler monarchy? Or shrewd Charles II had not died suddenly in his mid-fifties, or his brother James had not alienated elites and been deposed?
In this collection of essays, Tim Venning explores all these questions and more.
King Henry IX and Other Questions
In these essays possibilities are explored about late Tudor and early Stuart history. In this era political and religious developments depended heavily on royal initiative and court politics. What if Mary Tudor had lived long enough to re-establish English Catholicism firmly? Elizabeth I had died young of smallpox? Charles I’s elder brother Henry had been King instead? Or Charles and Parliament had reached agreement after the Civil War?
