Excerpt from Calendar of State Papers: Domestic Series, of the Reign of Charles I, 1636 1637, Preserved in Her Majesty's Public OfficeThere is, in this respect, a very great difference between the Charles of the first few years of his reign and the Charles of 1637. Under Buckingham, the favourite was everything, he governed alone, the King scarcely inter meddled with business, was seldom heard of in such matters, and still more seldom seen. Laud, on the contrary, ruled the country through and by the King. Since Bucking ham's death, King Charles had become well versed in business, was informed of whatever was going on, attended meetings even of committees, directed their decisions, and when not present was consulted on all important matters.The government was thus really and truly his, not by a complimentary official figment, but by actual interference with its management and direction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
