Rebellion across three kingdoms

David J. Appleby traces the crises that developed across Charles I’s kingdoms in the 1630s and led to civil war and revolution. The account links conflict in the three kingdoms with the overthrow of the monarchy and the House of Lords, then follows the fighting beyond Britain to the Channel Islands, the Caribbean and the American colonies. It also considers how the conflict’s memory remains politically and culturally contested. The book offers a connected view of the English Revolution and Civil Wars, placing events in Britain alongside the wider reach of the fighting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an overview of the English Revolution and Civil Wars.
  • Readers interested in the Stuart monarchy and the interconnected histories of the three kingdoms.
  • Readers exploring the conflict’s wider geography and contested legacy.

Book overview

James I and VI bequeathed his son a reasonably peaceful land in 1625, yet over a decade later, Charles I's kingdoms erupted one by one into open rebellion- this book explores how this came to be.

David J. Appleby explains how interconnected conflicts arose in the three kingdoms, and how they gave rise to a revolution which swept away the institution of monarchy and the House of Lords. This book shows how the embryonic English republic's need to counter domestic resistance and international threats caused the fighting to spread to the Channel Islands, the Caribbean and the American colonies. Combining his expertise of the Stuart monarchy and post-conflict culture with a fresh and accessible tone, Appleby unravels why the memory of this conflict remains culturally and politically relevant and hotly contested to this day.
