Cavalier traces the life of William Cavendish, a flamboyant seventeenth‑century nobleman whose passions—horses, architecture and courtly display—intersected with the dramatic politics of the English Civil War. The narrative follows his military role, exile on the Continent, and eventual return at the Restoration.
The book moves beyond a single life to illuminate the world that sustained him: great houses, complex household hierarchies, servants and artists, and the intimate intrigues of court society. It sketches how cultural pursuits and ceremonial splendour coexisted with political danger and personal risk.
Clearly written and richly evoked, the book appeals to readers of British history, biography, social history and architecture.
