Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.Voir livre
