Manuscripts
A collection of excerpts from Proceedings in Parliament, the House of Commons Journals, speeches, letters, poems, and other records illustrating the deteriorating relationship between the Crown and Parliament under James I and Charles I. The volume includes an account of the impeachment of the Duke of Buckingham, the Remonstrances of the Commons, "The Complaint of distressed England to her children the Commons," "A Copie of some Jesuits letters directed to the Rector of Brussels," a list of shipping lost at sea through Admiralty incompetence, and many other entries, chiefly 1623-1626, with the later addition of "Majesty in Misery," a 72-line poem purportedly written by Charles I during his captivity at Carrisbrook Castle in 1648. Perhaps compiled by or for Sir Richard Knightley (1593-1628) of Fawsley, Northamptonshire, MP, an early supporter but later opponent of the Duke of Buckingham.
