English Foreign Policy 1603 - 1688 The Stuarts and the Republic

By Barry Vale

The Stuarts took over England and Wales in 1603 and believed that they had struck pay dirt. Yet as the following will attest they were to face testing times over the next 85 years. Indeed for some of the years covered by this volume the Stuarts were in exile after losing power and having witnessed Charles I go on trial and get executed for treason.

The period of the English Civil Wars and the Republican era make this volume different from the first two books in this series. The Republican era would see innovations in domestic and foreign policies, some that would be retried at a later date, and others that have not been attempted since the return of the monarchy. Ironically some of the factors that contributed to British imperialism can be dated back to Oliver Cromwell and his colleagues.

The final chapters of this volume will deal with foreign policy from the restoration of Charles II through to the removal of James II after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
