Synopsis:

Peter Ackroyd has been praised as one of the greatest living chroniclers of Britain and its people. In Rebellion, he continues his dazzling account of the history of England, beginning with the progress south of the Scottish king, James, VI, who on the death of Elizabeth I becomes the first Stewart, King of England, and ending with the deposition and flight into exile of his grandson, James II. The Stewart monarchy brought together the two nations of England and Scotland into one realm, albeit a realm still mark by political divisions that echo to this day. More importantly, perhaps, the Stewart era was marked by thecruel depredations of Civil War, and the killing of a king. Shrewd and opinionated, James I was eloquent on matters as diverse as theology, witchcraft, and the abuses of tobacco, but his attitude to the English parliament, sowed the seeds of the division that would split the country during the reign of his hapless heir, Charles I.
