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. 606 $aGenerals$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aLegislators$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1642-1649 615 0$aGenerals 615 0$aLegislators 676 $a942.06/2092 676 $aB 701 $aHopper$b Andrew$g(Andrew James)$025312 701 $aMajor$b Philip$01620737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817863103321 996 $aEngland's fortress$93964974 997 $aUNINA
