"Life of Edward Earl of Clarendon — Volume 02" by Sir Henry Craik is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century. This volume presents an in-depth narrative of significant political upheaval in England during the period of the Restoration following the English Civil War, focusing on the experiences and perspectives of Edward Hyde, the Earl of Clarendon, as he navigates the complexities of royal politics and his relationship with key figures of the era, including King Charles II and General Monk. The opening of the volume sets the stage for the tumultuous political landscape after the death of Oliver Cromwell, highlighting Edward Hyde's challenges in maintaining royalist interests amidst a fractured political environment filled with intrigue and animosity. Hyde is depicted as a central figure, striving to restore Charles II to the throne while contending with the competing factions among both royalists and republicans. The narrative delves into the various allegiances, betrayals, and the overarching sense of uncertainty as Hyde engages in diplomatic maneuvering, aiming to consolidate royal power against the backdrop of shifting allegiances and unstable governance.
