Excerpt from Charles I: A Tragedy in Five ActsAnd so he allowed his Court to become a centre for every kind Of negotiation and intrigue. Lauderdale and Lanark besought him to join the Presbyterians, and even promised the support of a strong Scottish force. Cromwell and Ireton urged him to join them and the Army openly, declaring that they would in that case force their conditions upon the Parliament, conditions more favourable to the King than any others hitherto proposed to him. Charles listened to both parties, and wavered between them. He listened also to his own courtiers and ¿atterers, who were reckless and arrogant as ever, and secretly fomented insurrections among the northern Cavaliers, ordering them to be ready to ¿y to arms at the fitting moment, and take advantage of the dissensions now raging amid their enemies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
