"His Maiesties Declaration, touching his Proceedings in the late Assemblie and Convention of Parliament" is a historical account attributed to the King of England, written during the early 17th century. This document details the turbulent relationship between the monarchy and Parliament, highlighting the tensions that arose from the King's assertion of authority over parliamentary proceedings. The likely topic of the book revolves around the intricacies of governance and royal prerogatives during a period marked by political strife and the dynamics of power. In this declaration, the King addresses the rationale behind the dissolution of Parliament, providing a detailed account of various grievances and pressures that led to his decision. He emphasizes his royal prerogative to govern without undue interference, responding specifically to petitions that he deemed beyond the scope of parliamentary authority. The text reveals his frustrations with Parliament's attempts to assert influence over matters seen as traditionally within the King's domain, including questions of royal marriage and foreign policy. The document serves both as a defense of the King's actions and a call for loyalty from his subjects, encapsulating the perennial conflict between monarchical power and parliamentary privilege that would resonate throughout British history.
