Britain – The Reign of Charles I, 1625-49

In this course, Dr David Smith (University of Cambridge) explores the reign of Charles I of England. The course begins by thinking about Charles’ reputation among modern historians, before considering his reign in four parts: his early life and reign up to 1629; his Personal Rule between 1629-40; the years immediately before the Civil War; and the final seven years of his reign, ending with his execution on 30 January 1649 and the abolition of the monarchy.

Charles’ Early Life and Reign to 1629

In this module, we focus on Charles’ reputation among modern historians, and his reign down to 1629.
