Exploring the impact of the regicide on the children's usefulness to the new republic, as well as how their experience and agency effected the adult agendas around them, Underwood shows how upbringing was key to parliament's interest in the princes as their political usefulness depended on the kind of adults they would become. This study is a history both of childhood and of the politics of childhood in England's turbulent Seventeenth Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLucy Underwood\u003c\/b\u003e is an honorary research fellow at the University of Warwick, UK.
