系列簡介

Penguin Monarchs系列是企鵝英國2013年開啟的一個為期四年的出版計劃。在這四年期間，四十五本關於英國皇家帝王個人的傳奇故事將紛紛與讀者見面。彙集了英國知名歷史學家，每一本的內容都從創新的角度，繪出君王們的不同形象。

説到歷史書，可能一直留給讀者的是“大部頭”，“難啃”等晦澀的印象，但是這個系列並非如此。小巧精裝，沒有一本超過200頁，外加精心設計的封面，足以讓人愛不釋手。

書籍簡介

The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback

The tragedy of Charles I dominates one of the most strange and painful periods in British history as the whole island tore itself apart over a deadly, entangled series of religious and political disputes. In Mark Kishlansky's brilliant account it is never in doubt that Charles created his own catastrophe, but he was nonetheless opposed by men with far fewer scruples and less consistency who for often quite contradictory reasons conspired to destroy him. This is a remarkable portrait of one of the most talented, thoughtful, loyal, moral, artistically alert and yet, somehow, disastrous of all this country's rulers.

查理一世（Charles I，1600年11月19日－1649年1月30日），英格蘭斯圖亞特王朝國王，詹姆斯一世和丹麥公主安妮次子，英國曆史上僅有的被公開處死的國王，歐洲史上首位被公開處死的君主。在位24年。
