Royalist Pamphlets

Royalist pamphlets were written materials produced during the English Civil War (1642-1651) by supporters of the monarchy, advocating for King Charles I and opposing Parliament’s authority. These pamphlets aimed to influence public opinion by defending monarchy, traditional hierarchies, and the king’s divine right to rule. They often contained arguments, propaganda, and appeals to loyalty, illustrating the political tensions of the time. Royalist pamphlets played a critical role in shaping the narrative and rallying support for the Crown during a period of intense conflict between royalists and parliamentarians.
