Descripción

In this vibrant chapter, we delve into the tumultuous aftermath of Charles IIs death and the rise of James II. Judge Jeffries makes a memorable appearance, showcasing a blend of slapstick absurdity that, while comical today, was anything but funny for those living through the Bloody Assizes. The political drama unfolds with lively exchanges in the Houses of Parliament, while the Scots Covenanters and the notorious Dangerfield and Oates face their reckoning. Macaulay brings the mid to late 17th century to life with an effervescent palette of historical intrigue. Summary by Jim Mowatt.
