The Duke and Duchess were staunch supporters of King Charles I, and they were forced to flee England after the king was overthrown by the Parliamentarians. The book details their lives in exile, their travels across Europe, and their eventual return to England after the Restoration of the monarchy.The book also provides insight into the couple's literary pursuits. The Duchess of Newcastle was a prolific writer and poet, and the book includes excerpts from her works.
