"The Life and Times of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, Volume 3" by Mrs. Thomson is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed chronicling of the life and political career of George Villiers, who rose to prominence during the reign of King Charles I of England, exploring his impact on various historical events, particularly his military undertakings and political struggles. The opening of this volume sets the stage for Buckingham's troubled tenure, marked by his unpopularity and the political turmoil surrounding his appointment as Chancellor following the death of the Earl of Suffolk. As debates raged in Parliament and public sentiment turned against him, Buckingham sought to assert his influence while preparing for military action in France. The narrative introduces significant characters and events, such as Buckingham's fraught relationship with King Charles I, his attempts to quell dissent, and a burgeoning war with France, all serving to highlight the complexities of Buckingham's political maneuvering amidst mounting challenges both at home and in military endeavors.
