That legacy is now by so much the greater, and this volume was from the first conceived as a tribute to Dr Betttey’s services to the history of the region. For a start, he has written more of it than any one else, work which goes on to this day. And he has done much more. As Reader in Local History at the University of Bristol, he not only taught and inspired other local historians, but also helped to establish the study as a full and proper form of historical discipline. As Editor of this Society for many years he brought other people’s work to the public; and he did the same in helping Peter Harris with that other remarkable series by which Bristol is distinguished, the BBHA booklets. He has always been ready to encourage and to assist other historians; and one could fill pages with the titles of the works in which his help has been acknowledged. His Presidency of the British Association for Local History (2000–2005) was indeed richly deserved. His own work has been particularly focussed on religious history, and the theme of this volume has been chosen to reflect this. Indeed it has benefitted from his advice. If it is still not quite the volume that he might have made it, yet there is nothing lacking in the respect and affection which have inspired it. I must here pay tribute to Professor Jonathan Barry. He has throughout been a most valuable colleague, always ready with comment, suggestion and detailed proof- reading; but never imposing his authority as il miglior fabbro. He has supplied much more of the material than my attributions would indicate. But that he should not be held responsible for the errors of commission and omission which remain, he should be named as co-author. Much of the research for this volume was done at the Bristol Record Office. Now renamed Bristol Archives, nothing else has changed, and all the staff are as helpful and friendly as ever. I have also made full use of the on-line access to the ODNB, to EEBO (Early English Books on Line) and State Papers, all by virtue of the hospitality of the University of the West of England. Thanks also to 4word for humouring my eccentricities. I and the Society thank Mr D Bond, Dr G Gibbons, Miss M Parker, Mr J Rhodes and Mr R Starr for their generous donations which have been allocated to the publication of this work. Finally I must thank my wife who has born my pre-occupied deafness with considerable patience, and demonstrated yet more patience in vigilant proof-reading; and my daughters who have always been ready to read drafts on topics not close to their own interests, and let me know when I do not make myself clear. vii BRS69-TEXT.indb 7 16/09/2017 13:05 BRS69-TEXT.indb 8 16/09/2017 13:05 SHORT REFERENCES & ABBREVIATIONS Books listed here should be included in list of sources for Further Reading.

  • The British Civil War: the Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660'
    H-Albion Roberts on Royle, 'The British Civil War: The Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660' Review published on Friday, April 1, 2005 Trevor Royle. The British Civil War: The Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004. xviii + 888 pp. $40.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-312-29293-5. Reviewed by Stephen Roberts (History of Parliament Trust, London) Published on H-Albion (April, 2005) This is a large-scale treatment of a large-scale subject. The book is a narrative history of the disorders of the British archipelago, with an emphasis on the military conflicts. These are conventionally viewed as separate wars, and Trevor Royle divides his material in accordance with the convention. There are no fewer than forty-nine chapters in the book, with an epilogue, so inevitably the chapters are grouped into parts. Part 1 covers the build-up or as the author sees it, the "descent" to war, from 1638 to 1642, with proper emphasis on Charles I's disastrous policies in Scotland and Ireland. Part 2 takes us from the outbreak of the civil war in England to the king's engagement with the Scots, while the third part continues the story down to the conclusion of the third civil war, at Worcester in September 1651. Parts 4 and 5 deal with the transition from commonwealth to protectorate, and the restoration of the monarchy, respectively. In this choice of periodization, the book's main title, and its sub-title, lie a pointer to the varying focus of this work as a whole.
