Description
On the controversy concerning the authorship of "Eikōn basilikē", which Richard Hollingworth believed was the work of Charles I, whilst the author of this tract, amongst others, believed it to be the work of John Gauden. Madan, in his "New bibliography of the Eikon basilike", states that it was in fact written by John Gauden, although it probably includes some authentic writings of the King.

Not to be confused with Edmund Ludlow, 1617?-1692. cf. article on Richard Hollingworth in DNB; also BM under Ludlow, Edmund, pseud.
