- Abstract
"The Trials of Charles I" by Ian Ward is a cross-disciplinary examination of the trial and execution of King Charles I in seventeenth-century England. The book explores the constitutional, political, social, and legal context surrounding these events, emphasizing the role of law and humanities in understanding history. It also delves into the various narratives and interpretations of the trial throughout history, highlighting the impact of authors who were both part of and writing about the historical period. The book presents the trial as a legal event, a spectacle, and a performance, ultimately contributing to a broader understanding of constitutional history and the writing of history itself.
