Produktbeschreibung
In sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, the Hacker family were powerful and wealthy people - owning substantial amounts of property and land and exerting significant influence throughout Nottinghamshire and the Midlands, in such places as East Bridgford, Colston Bassett, and Stathern, Leicestershire. That all changed in 1660 when Colonel Francis Hacker was executed for the part he played in the regicide of Charles I almost eleven years earlier. In A Further Account of the Hacker Family, Catherine Pincott-Allen traces the origins of the family and follows its progress to the grisly death of Francis, and beyond. On her investigative and literary journey, the author is able to make a number of new revelations about the family which challenge conventional thinking that has built up for more than 300 years. At the heart of this focused historical research is the story of a family that was broken apart by the ravages of the English Civil Wars and pulled together by strong personalities whose values and commitment to one another overcame the prejudices of the age in which they lived.
