Boscobel recounts the dramatic story of King Charles II's escape following the Battle of Worcester in 1651. This historical narrative details Charles's flight from the pursuing Parliamentarian forces, his concealment at Boscobel House, and his subsequent adventures as he sought refuge. Thomas Blount vividly portrays the loyalty and bravery of those who aided the King during this perilous time.
The book offers insights into the political turmoil of the English Civil War era and the resourcefulness required to evade capture. It highlights the significance of Boscobel House as a sanctuary and symbol of royalist resistance. This edition preserves Blount's original account, making it an invaluable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of the English monarchy.
