Book Synopsis The Great Escape of Edward Whalley and William Goffe by : Christopher Pagliuco
Book excerpt: This book delves into the history of Edward Whalley and William Goffe who became Major Generals in Oliver Cromwell's famous Ironsides Brigade during the English Civil War. Off the field, Whalley and Goffe had the audacity to push for the trial and execution of their king; an action unprecedented in world history. They became hunted fugitives upon the restoration of the monarchy. King Charles II quickly issued forgiveness to all his English subjects, all except the men who tried and killed his father.
