The History of England from the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession…
“The History of England from The First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession…” by John Lingard, D.D. and Hilaire Belloc, B.A. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work provides an extensive examination of English history, detailing events from the initial Roman invasion through to the accession of King George V. It explores pivotal moments and figures that shaped the nation, presenting a thorough analysis of
the sociopolitical landscape of England during these formative years. At the start of the book, the narrative delves into the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, focusing specifically on the reign of Charles I. It outlines key events such as the Battle of Edge Hill and the negotiations for peace that ultimately fail, leading both sides to plunge into further conflict. Lingard details the contrasting armies of the royalists and parliamentarians and illustrates the complex motivations of both supporters and opponents of the monarchy. The opening sets the stage for a dramatic retelling of civil strife characterized by loyalties, betrayals, and the fervent struggles for power that defined this critical period in English history.
