By Elias Ashmole

Book Overview

William Lilly's Life and Death of Charles the First is a historical book written by Elias Ashmole. The book tells the story of the life and death of Charles I, the king of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649. The book is based on the writings of William Lilly, an astrologer who lived during the same period as Charles I. Ashmole uses Lilly's writings to provide a detailed account of the political and social events that led to Charles I's downfall. The book covers the English Civil War, the trial and execution of Charles I, and the aftermath of his death. It also includes a detailed analysis of the astrological predictions made by Lilly about the fate of Charles I.
