Heavy book – extra shipping needed for overseas. Sir Edward Walker (1612-77) enjoyed a long and distinguished career in royal service. During the Civil Wars, he served as Clerk Extraordinary of the Privy Council, Secretary to the Council of War and Secretary at War. These roles placed him at the heart of the Royalist war effort and brought him into daily contact with King Charles I. Walker also wrote a contemporary account of the years 1644-45. Published posthumously in 1705 as Historical Discourses, written under the auspices of the King. It contains the most widely known account of the Battle of Lostwithiel (1644), a turning point in the English Civil War.
