Two of Hilaire Belloc’s histories, 'Cromwell' and 'Charles I', are back in print via Mysterium Press in premium re-typeset hardback editions. These works were first published in the 1930s and have been out of print for years.
'Cromwell' and 'Charles I' are the third and fourth instalments (following 'Wolsey' and 'Cranmer') in a planned series of six books, which cover Belloc’s portraits of key figures in English history, from the dawn of the Reformation, to the end of the Restoration.
Cromwell and Charles I will both be released on 9 October, 2025, with pre-orders now shipping from www.mysteriumpress.com
Cromwell profiles the “Lord Protector” Oliver Cromwell: the country squire who engineered Charles I’s execution. Belloc maps the Puritan’s dark quest in which he ordered up the deaths of innocents to carve out an unpopular and shortlived republic.
Charles I tells the story of the principled and rueful Stuart monarch.
