	Eikon Basilike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eikon Basilike (Greek: Eικων Bασιλικη, the "Royal Portrait"), The Pourtrature of His Sacred Majestie in His Solitudes and Sufferings, was a purported spiritual autobiography attributed to King Charles I of England.
		The heavily allegorical frontispiece of the Eikon Basilike depicts the King as a Christian martyr.
		The Eikon Basilike and its portrait of Charles's execution as a martyrdom were so successful that, at the Restoration, a special commemoration of the King on January 30 was added to the Book of Common Prayer, directing that the day be observed as an occasion for fasting and repentance.

	The King's Book: The Puzzle of the Eikon Basilike
		Since the Eikon Basilike purported to be a compendium of the king's own meditations on duty and death, it is easy to understand that the commonwealth government was anxious to suppress this piece of royalist propaganda.
		The phenomenon of the Eikon Basilike is interesting not only for the immediate historical effects of its appearance, but also for the puzzles it presents to any bibliographer and for the literary controversy which arose over it authorship.
		Their opponents asserted that the Eikon Basilike was at best a collaboration, with the primary responsibility for its composition falling on the shoulders of John Gauden, Bishop of Worcester.

	Gauden, Eikon Basilike
		Eikon Basilike, or, "Royal Portrait," is both a "personal" memoir and a work of royalist propaganda.
		Nevertheless, contrary to the popular belief at the time of its first publication, Eikon Basilike was actually the work of John Gauden, a former sympathizer for the Parliamentarian and, especially, Presbyterian opposition to the king (Longman 1701).
		By the end of 1649, thirty-five editions of Eikon Basilike were in circulation, probably because Charles I was named as the author.

		And it is at least possible that Eikon may be even more of a mosaic than it seems.
		The author knew what Charles had said on public occasions, and used it; he knew what the king felt on public questions; he knew what such a man, the disciple of Laud, the devout attendant at Anglican worship, would feel at a time of personal distress and imprisonment.
		Eikon Basilike is, indeed, among the masterpieces of the age which produced the religion and the literature of Nicholas Ferrar and of George Herbert.

		The particular achievement of Eikon Basiliké was to presents the unique polemical strategy of relying on the fourth part of rhetoric--the art of memory--to redefine not only the present, but also the past ten years of political and cultural struggle between king and parliament.
		The book thus performed the double function of reconstructing the king's memories during his imprisonment, and shaping readers' memories of the political events of the previous decade.
		A companion to a previous paper that examined the visual rhetoric of artificial memory, the current paper focuses on "natural" memory and the verbal rhetoric of Eikon Basiliké.

		Eikon Basilike (“The image of the king”) was published within a few days of the execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649.
		The eager readers of Eikon Basilike were prepared by earlier pamphleteering and journalism.
		The image of Charles as a martyr –; as a type of Christ – that Eikon Basilike promoted had already been employed to subtle effect at least since his imprisonment by the army in 1647 (the stained-glass windows in the chapel of Lincoln College Oxford suggest that the fashioning began even before the civil war).

		The event was staged with grand theatricality, and both Royalist and Parliamentary factions hoped to gain ground from it, but none could have predicted how it would become one of the most famous convergences of literature, politics and popular culture in book history.
		On the day of Charles' execution, a book entitled "Eikon Basilike: The Portraiture of His Sacred Majesty in His Solitude and Sufferings" was published and widely circulated by his Royalist supporters.
		Purporting to be a record of Charles' private thoughts, prayers and meditations right up until the hour of death, "The King's Book" puts a martyr's gloss to the regicide, a view that the public found so attractive that there were 20 editions within the month and 35 within the year.

		On the other hand, the Puritans or Parliamentarians, alarmed at the effect on the public mind, desired Milton to write an answer to the Eikon Basiliké, with the view of shewing that, whether written by the king or not, its political reasonings were invalid.
		The two books should be read together: the Eikon Basilike/, not as the production of the unfortunate king, but of the bishop of Exeter, Dr. Gauden; and the Eikonoclastes (more frequently spelled Iconoclastes or Iconoclast) of Milton.
		The question was long a matter of literary discussion, and in the last century, we find Hume, in his History of England, advocating the claims of the king to the authorship, in preference to those of Dr. Gauden.
