Förlagets beskrivning
A lay follower of Archbishop William Laud, Viscount Scudamore was an
ambitious politician. This study examines how he sought power and prestige
through his support of the Crown's financial, religious and military policies;
it also examines how he manipulated concepts of honour to present himself on
various stages. Through the career of one man, it illuminates much recent work on
Laudianism, the Personal Rule of Charles I, Caroline foreign policy, royalism
and the outbreak of the civil war. This study explores the nature of
implemented often unpopular Crown policies; it also investigates his failure as
an ineffectual ambassador and a disastrous royalist commander. A lay follower of Archbishop Laud, Viscount Scudamore was an ambitious
politician. This study examines how he sought power through his support of the
Crown's financial, religious and military policies; it also examines how he
