This volume delves into the historical controversy surrounding the authorship of Icôn Basilikè, a spiritual autobiography attributed to King Charles I of England. Henry John Todd and Christopher Wordsworth meticulously examine the evidence supporting John Gauden's claim as the true author.

Addressing recent remarks by C. Wordsworth, the book presents further arguments and analysis to reinforce the case for Gauden's authorship. It scrutinizes the literary style, historical context, and available documentation to shed light on this enduring mystery. The work offers valuable insights into the political and religious climate of 17th-century England, inviting readers to reconsider the accepted narrative surrounding one of history's most debated texts. A key resource for understanding the complexities of historical attribution and royal representation.
