Note 1091 — Chapter II
Reading edition
It is to be remembered, as explaining Charles's sacrifice of Strafford, that the latter was generally detested even at Court (Hallam, ii, 108-10). And at the outset the general hatred of the nobility to Laud was the great cause of Charles's weakness (id. ii, 86). In France, soon afterwards, the aristocratic hatred to Mazarin set up the civil war of the Fronde.
