The King's General in the West: The Life of Sir Richard Granville 1600-1659 is a historical biography written by Roger Granville. The book chronicles the life of Sir Richard Granville, a prominent figure in the English Civil War and a loyal supporter of King Charles I. Born in 1600, Sir Richard Granville was a member of the wealthy and influential Granville family of Cornwall. He was educated at Oxford University and later served as a Member of Parliament for Launceston. During the English Civil War, Sir Richard Granville fought on the side of the Royalists and played a key role in the defence of the South West of England. He was a skilled military leader and his tactics helped to secure several important victories for the Royalist cause.However, after the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Sir Richard Granville's fortunes began to decline. He was imprisoned by the Parliamentarians and his estates were seized. Despite this, he continued to support the Royalist cause and was involved in several unsuccessful plots to restore the monarchy.The book provides a detailed account of Sir Richard Granville's life, including his military campaigns, political activities, and personal relationships. It also explores the wider historical context of the English Civil War and the political and social changes that took place during this turbulent period.Overall, The King's General in the West: The Life of Sir Richard Granville 1600-1659 is a fascinating and well-researched biography that offers a unique insight into one of the most important figures of the English Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
