Cornwall in the English Civil War

In this talk, author Charles Cordell will talk about The General Crisis of the 17th Century and Britain’s collapse into Civil War. He will discuss why Cornwall fought with such zeal for its king. Finally, he will outline the exploits of the Cornish Army of 1643 from the Battle of Lansdown Hill to the Storming of Bristol.

A book signing will follow the talk and Q&A.

Charles Cordell is the author of English Civil War historical fiction series Divided Kingdom. A former soldier, he is an author with experience on the ground in the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa - witnessing humanity at its best, its worst and its most desperate. His writing draws on time spent in the fraying margins of civilisation, as well as a deep study of The General Crisis of the 17th Century and its parallels today.

‘Charles Cordell, a former soldier, writes with bravura confidence.’ The Times.
