About this book
The history describes a Triennial Bill requiring Parliament to meet every three years even without a royal summons, and records Charles's hesitant assent. The account explains that refusal would have left Charles without parliamentary money to satisfy the Scots, who would recommence war if they remained unsatisfied.
The section on Strafford's impeachment places the opening of his trial in Westminster Hall on March 22, 1641. The discussion records doubt about whether Strafford's overbearing actions constituted high treason under the strict statutory definition. The illustration list includes a coach from the middle of the seventeenth century, together with a depiction of the ordinary dress of gentlemen in 1675.
