Spanning the most turbulent and remarkable years of British background—from the 1520s through 1650—Quarrel with the Ruler tells the amazing saga of one of the best families in British background, the Pembrokes, following their attractive trajectory across three decades of change, ambition, resistance, and conflict. With vibrant color and fascinating detail, acclaimed historian Adam Nicolson recounts the storyline of an century-long power struggle between England's richest family and the British Crown—a remarkable review of divided loyalties, corruption, protection under the law and privilege, and all the ambiguities involved in the exercise and maintenance of power and status.
