1650 1ed Execution Charles I Defensio Regia Saumaise French Royalist Civil War

1650 1^ed Execution Charles I Defensio Regia Saumaise French Royalist Civil War

Claude Saumaise was a 17^th-century French scholar known for his editions and commentary of classical works and Greek anthologies. However, he also published a defense of Charles I of England following his execution. Curiously, Saumaise’s ‘Defensio Regia’ takes on a thoroughly royalist agenda, even from a Frenchman, and Charles II even helped publish the book. This book even inspired John Milton who published his own piece of political propaganda that covered the events of Charles I and II.
