Basilika is attributed to King Charles, but was partly authored by John Gauden (1605-1662), Bishop of Worcester:

“As there is substantial historical and stylistic evidence to support both the authorship of Charles I and John Gauden, we are best served to read the King’s Book as a heteroglossic, collaborative royalist effort.”

(Daems and Nelson, 2006, p. 20).

Also contains material composed by other hands.
