Cover of Hilaire Belloc: Characters of the Reformation (ePUB)

Hilaire Belloc’s landmark study
Characters of the Reformation argues that Western Europe’s break from the Catholic Church was driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European noblemen. Belloc has little admiration for the so-called leaders of the time and credits the Reformation to behind-the-scenes players. Each chapter is a mini-biography and individuals covered include Anne Boleyn, Pope Clement the Seventh, Cecil, Richelieu, Laud, Oliver Cromwell, Descartes, Pascal and more.
