As a military and political figure he played a central role in defeating Charles I and supporting the restoration of Charles II in 1660. This book shines new light on this significant figure through a selection of essays addressing a wide range of topics, from Fairfax's role as soldier and statesman, to his life as husband and scholar.GeneralsGreat BritainBiographyLegislatorsGreat BritainBiographyGreat BritainHistoryCivil War, 1642-1649Electronic books.GeneralsLegislators942.06/2092BHopper Andrew(Andrew James),Major PhilipMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465498003321England's fortress2006341UNINA
