Summary "Boscobel" by Thomas Blount is a historical account written in the early 17th century. This book chronicles the dramatic events surrounding King Charles II's escape following the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, after being betrayed by his subjects during the English Civil War. The narrative is steeped in the themes of loyalty, survival, and the miraculous preservation of the king during a tumultuous time in British history. The book details Charles II's journey from defeat to evasion as he takes refuge in various locations, including Boscobel House, where he sought safety among loyalists. Blount recounts how various individuals, particularly the Penderel brothers, along with Mr. Whitgreave and Mr. Huddleston, played vital roles in assisting the king's escape. They disguised him and provided him with food and shelter, all while evading enemy forces. The narrative captures the tension of the time, with close encounters with soldiers and the daring measures taken to ensure Charles II's survival before he ultimately fled to safety in France. The strength of the human spirit and the loyalty of his subjects shine through, making it a compelling read for those interested in royal history and the complexities of allegiance during civil unrest.
