Eikon Basilike: The Portraiture Of His Sacred Majesty In His Solitudes And Sufferings (1824)

Eikon Basilike: The Portraiture Of His Sacred Majesty In His Solitudes And Sufferings is a book written by Philip A. Knachel in 1824. The book is a portrayal of King Charles I of England during his time of solitude and suffering. It is based on the original Eikon Basilike, which was a book written by King Charles I himself during his imprisonment before his execution in 1649. The book is a reflection of the king's thoughts, feelings, and experiences during his difficult time. Knachel's version of Eikon Basilike is a tribute to the king's life and legacy, and it provides readers with a glimpse into the mind of one of England's most controversial monarchs. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in English history, particularly the events leading up to the English Civil War and the reign of King Charles I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
