Quarrel with the King: The Story of an English Family on the High Road to Civil War

Quarrel with the King was both interesting and vaguely unsatisfying.  Covering both the changes to society and the nobility during the reigns of James I, Charles I, and the Republic and the history of the Earls of Pembroke, Adam Nicolson's book never seemed to fully connect the two threads.  This short book gives only surface treatment to two (perhaps not as intertwined as the author thought) tales which deserve deeper treatment.
