1877 EXQUISITE History of England by Guizot WARS Oliver Cromwell Fine BINDING
Francois Guizot was a 19th-century French historian known for his extensive portfolio of history books on France, America, and England. One such work was his 'History of England', a work covering the entirety of British history, albeit not as thorough as English historians. It covers important wars, reigns of English kings, the life of Oliver Cromwell, and much more.

1684 History of Charles IX Huguenot Religion Wars Bartholomew Day Varillas 2v

Antoine Varillas was a French historiographer who is remembered for his numerous historical accounts of French royals such as King Louis XI, Louis XII, Charles VIII, and even Saint Louis. Unfortunately, his writings received little recognition. As a result, his scholarly reputation was negatively impacted. It was not until much later that the public would show interest in his writings.

His 'History of Charles IX' is an important history of 16th-century France, the House of Valois, the Huguenot wars of religion, and the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
