At Dent's many people have worked on the production of this book but no one has been more concerned than Peter Shellard, with whom I have been in close contact at every stage: to a patient and understanding publisher I should like to record my thinks. Above all I want to thank my husband, Russell Meiggs, not only for accepting my relationship with Charles I but for support in every way.

King Charles I (Phoenix Press) Paperback – June 30, 2001.

The changing political landscape in England over the course of Charles's reign is presented very well and in detail, including the financial and turbulent religious aspects that make his reign a most interesting one.
