From Charles I. to Cromwell Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_England_(Hume_book) David Widger and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part E." by David Hume is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The volume focuses on the tumultuous period from the reign of Charles I through to Cromwell, capturing the complex dynamics between monarchy and parliament during a significant era in English history. Hume's work likely delves into the political struggles, social changes, and evolving concepts of governance that define this critical period. The opening of the volume sets the stage for the events that unfolded as Charles I assumed the throne. It details Charles's aspirations and initial attempts to summon Parliament to address pressing financial needs while underscoring the burgeoning tensions between royal authority and parliamentary power. As he navigates this delicate political landscape, Hume highlights the contrasting motivations of both the king and Parliament—Charles's desire for a unified front against external threats and the Commons' growing insistence on protecting civil liberties and imposing limits on the crown's power. This opening segment introduces readers to the intricate interplay of ambition, conflict, and ideological shifts that characterized early 17th-century England.
