Bag om The Prophetess and the Patriarch - The Visions of an Anti-Regicide in Seventeenth-Century England

"In 1649, Elizabeth Poole appeared at the Whitehall debates in London to prophesy in front of Parliament's army shortly after it had defeated the crown in the English civil wars. Invited to help deliberate the fate of Charles I, Poole advised the army to spare the king's life but to put him on trial for tyranny and to enter into a new compact with the people. After her visions proved controversial, she was defamed. She retaliated by printing her prophecies and two new defenses of her original revelations. This volume publishes Poole's pamphlets in full for the first time"--
