The People's Claim

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the midst of the turmoil and upheaval of the English Civil Wars, a group of radical reformers known as the Levellers emerged, challenging the established order and advocating for a more just and equitable society. Inspired by the religious and political ideas of the Reformation, the Levellers believed that all men were created equal and that they had a right to participate in government.

This book tells the story of the Levellers, from their early origins to their eventual decline. It explores their beliefs and their role in the English Civil Wars, as well as their legacy and their impact on subsequent generations of reformers.

The Levellers were a diverse group of people, united by their common cause. They included soldiers, farmers, artisans, and even some members of the gentry. They were all united by their belief in the equality of all men and their right to participate in government.

The Levellers were active in both the military and political spheres during the English Civil Wars. They fought alongside the Parliamentarian army, and they also played a leading role in the negotiations that led to the execution of King Charles I. After the war, the Levellers continued to advocate for their beliefs, but they faced increasing opposition from both the government and the more conservative elements within Parliament.

Despite their ultimate failure to achieve their goals, the Levellers left a lasting legacy. Their ideas about democracy, equality, and religious toleration would continue to inspire future generations of reformers. Their struggle for a more just and equitable society is still relevant today, and their writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars and activists alike.

**The People's Claim** is a comprehensive and engaging history of the Levellers. It is a story of courage, determination, and hope, and it is a story that deserves to be told and retold.

Ottoman Sieges of Vienna The:...

Editors Charles River

In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent, and one of the most important battles among those efforts took place at Vienna in 1529. At the time, the Ottomans were led by one of their most famous sultans, Suleiman the Magnificent, and different chroniclers have analyzed Suleiman's behavior in different ways. There is a plethora of opinions as to his motives for attempting the takeover of Vienna, a well-guarded city far away from his empire's center. Had he intended to conquer the whole of the Holy Roman Empire? Had he intended to strengthen his borders? Had he acted in accordance with King Francis I’s needs in the West? No matter the reason, Suleiman did not halt in his advances, despite the fact circumstances were not favorable for the Ottomans.
The long conflict between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans would finally come to a head in 1683 outside the city of Vienna, the center of Habsburg power in central Europe. It would be no exaggeration to say that the fighting around Vienna represented one of the most important battles not only in the conflict between Islam and Christendom, but in the entire history of the world. If the Habsburgs had lost that battle, it is highly likely that Islamic civilization rather than Christian would dominate much of Europe.
