He believed God had given him the crown and Parliament could not take it back, and he was wrong about the second part. Abbott follows Charles from the Spanish match to the Civil War in short clear chapters: the taxes levied without consent, the eleven years without a Parliament, and a king whose dignity never once deserted him, least of all at the end.
