Book Synopsis The Personal Rule of Charles II, 1681-85 by : Grant Tapsell
Book excerpt: From 1681 until his death in 1685 Charles II ruled without a Parliament, and his personal rule forms the central subject of this book. The author discusses the nature of the Whig and Tory parties at this crucial period of their formation as political parties, showing how they coped with the absence of a parliamentary forum.
