"With the King at Oxford: A Tale of the Great Rebellion" by Alfred John Church is a war memoir of Alfred John Church. The story is set around the time of the Civil War which is an important part of Great Britain's history. -
Excerpt:
"My father was the son of a gentleman of Oxfordshire that had a small estate near to the town of Eynsham, in that county. The monks of Eynsham Priory had the land afore-time; and 'twas said that here, as elsewhere, there was a curse upon such as held for their own uses that which had been dedicated to God's service. How this may be I know not, though there are notable instances-as, to wit, the Russells-in which no visible curse has fallen on the holders of such goods; but it is certain that my father's forbears wasted their estate grievously. Being but the third son, he had scarce, in any case, tarried at home; but, matters being as they were, the emptiness of the family purse drove him out betimes into the world. Being of good birth and breeding he got, without much ado, a place about the Court, which was not, however, much to his liking. I have heard him say-and this, though, as will be seen hereafter, he was a great lover of monarchy-that, between a weak king and villainous courtiers, Whitehall was no place for an honest gentleman."
