Quarrel with the King: The Story of an English Family on the High Road to Civil War

$15.00 CAD

pp. xiv [1] 306. “Quarrel with the King tells the story of the first four earls of Pembroke, their wives, children, estates, tenants, and allies, following their high and glamorous trajectory from the 1520s through 1650 (the most turbulent and dramatic years of English history) across three generations of change, ambition, resistance, and war. The Pembrokes were at the heart of it all: the richest family in England, with old blood and new drive, led as much by a succession of extraordinary women as by their husbands and sons”.
