EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Robert Stapleton (1592-1669): A Scholar and Royalist Loyalist This evocative portrait captures the intellectual and political depth of Sir Robert Stapleton, a prominent figure in the seventeenth-century English literary and political scene. Born in 1592, Stapleton was a gifted writer and translator, whose works would leave an indelible mark on the historical record of the tumultuous period. As a Royalist, Stapleton's allegiance to the monarchy was unwavering. During the English Civil War, he remained loyal to King Charles I, despite the rising tide of Parliamentarian support. His unyielding commitment to the Crown led him to write and publish several influential works, including 'A True and Perfect Relation of What Passed for Many Years Between His Majesty and Diverse Desperate Traitors' (1649). This powerful account of the king's trials and tribulations served to galvanize support for the Royalist cause and bolster morale among the beleaguered monarch's followers. Stapleton's translation of the 'Histoire Ecclesiastique' by the French historian, Jean Bapiste de Thou, was another significant contribution to the historical record. His rendering of this seminal work into English allowed a wider audience to access the rich historical insights contained therein, thereby expanding the scope of historical understanding during this pivotal period. This portrait, with its somber yet resolute expression, encapsulates the steadfast determination and unwavering loyalty that characterized Sir Robert Stapleton's life. His works continue to provide valuable insights into the complexities of the English Civil War and the enduring power of the written word to shape history.
