Claude Saumaise was a 17th-century French scholar known for his editions and commentary of classical works and Greek anthologies. However, he also published a defense of Charles I of England following his execution. Curiously, Saumaise’s ‘Defensio Regia’ takes on a thoroughly royalist agenda, even from a Frenchman, and Charles II even helped publish the book. This book even inspired John Milton who published his own piece of political propaganda that covered the events of Charles I and II.

 

Milton’s “Defensio pro populo Anglicano” was first published in 1651 and was Cromwellian propaganda justifying parliament’s decisions during Cromwell’s reign.
