      abstract = {This book addresses a conundrum. Alone of the major  competing political interests during the civil wars of the  1640s, royalism needed to transcend attachment to one  nation or one religious tradition and recruit a support  base in each of England, Ireland and Scotland. This book  aims to provide a concise interpretation and reassessment  of royalism during these crucial years and focuses on this  dilemma, and on the resources, intellectual and practical,  deployed to address it, with mixed success. It focuses on  the key ideas and values which made royalism a formidable  political alternative, rather than on the more usual  factional, military or literary perspectives. It argues  that a three-kingdom perspective not only gives a broader  view but also clarifies the distinctive characteristics of  English royalism, more robust than its counterparts in the  other nations. Robert Armstrong is Fellow and Associate  Professor in History at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.},
