Item Description:In this book, the role of royalist agents, spies and conspirators are uncovered and examined. Shifting the traditional focus of attention from royal ministers, councillors, and generals, to a cadre of loyal, resourceful and courageous agents several rungs lower down in the hierarchy of the king's supporters the book presents a unique picture of the royalist cause. In a lively yet scholarly style it reveals a world of feuds, jealousies, rivalries and shifting allegiances that divided and disorganised the leadership of the king's party
