Eikon Basilike: The Pourtracture of His Sacred Majestie, in His Solitudes and Sufferings is a spiritual autobiography attributed to King Charles I of England, published on February 9, 1649, shortly after his execution. The text reflects the King's thoughts and struggles during the English Civil War, emphasizing his commitment to his faith and royal duties amidst political turmoil. Notably, it portrays Charles as a martyr, influencing his canonization by the Church of England and the establishment of a commemoration day in his honor. This edition also includes John Milton's Eikonoklastes, a critical response to the King's work.
