Synopsis
Hutton (history, U. of Bristol) considers the efforts of the Royalists during the English Civil War, making comparisons between the different Royalist regions. The focus is on how the King found supporters, maintained his troops in the field, and ultimately alienated local populations and lost the war. The text is based upon the author's 1976 doctoral thesis. In the introduction to the second edition, he places his original account within the context of recent scholarly developments.
