Few people could have predicted that the civil war , that started in 1642, would have ended with the public execution of Charles. His most famous opponent in this war was Oliver Cromwell - one of the men who signed the death warrant of Charles. No king had ever been executed in England and the execution of Charles was not greeted with joy. How did the English Civil War break out? As with many wars, there are long and short term causes.

		Howard's Potted History of the English Civil War ^Votes:0 Howard's Potted History of the English Civil War Why did the war happen? The English Civil War is in fact a rather misleading term, as fighting also took place in Scotland and Ireland - the military situation in the latter being a contributory cause of the war in the first place. Also, there were three distinct wars rather than one. The causes of the first war were complex but at their simplest level reflected a power struggle between the forces of conservatism, represented by the King, and those seeking a more modern constitution, headed by members of Parliament. King Charles I believed in "the divine right of kings" - autocratic rule for the good of the country, if necessary without reference to his subjects' views, whilst on the whole Parliament wished for a measure of accountability fr Read More Go to Site

There had been, from the first, in the parliamentary party, some men whose minds were set on objects from which the majority of that party would have shrunk with horror. These men were, in religion, Independents. They conceived that every Christian congregation had, under Christ, supreme jurisdiction in things spiritual; that appeals to provincial and national synods were scarcely less unscriptural than appeals to the Court of Arches, or to the Vatican: and that Popery, Prelacy, and Presbyterianism were Read More Go to Site

Knox, in his book The Reformation of Scotland, outlined the whole process without which the British model of government under Oliver Cromwell never would not have been possible. Yet Knox was more consistently covenantal in his thinking. He recognized that civil government is based on a covenant between the magistrate (or the representative or king) and the populace. His view was that when the magistrate defects from the covenant, it is the duty of the people to overthrow him. Cromwell was not a learned schola Read More Go to Site

		Stuart kings, Civil War and Cromwell rules ^Votes:0 James I, Charles I and the descent into Civil War, the King executed, Cromwell rules James Stuart was a Scottish Catholic who believed in the "Divine Right" to rule as he pleased. This brought him into conflict with the English Parliament. The failed Catholic Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament in 1605 led to anti catholic riots. The failure of both James and his son Charles I to understand the English tradition of parliamentary liberty led eventually to civil war James died unlamented in 1625. Charles I immediately came in to conflict with Parliament. He tried to rule without summoning parliament for 11 years, but eventually ran out of money,and summoned Parliament in 1640 Parliament was naturally peeved about his neglect of their rights.

		The Battle of Winceby ^Votes:0 The Battle of Winceby A Clash of Cavalry by Rob Markham Although only a small cavalry engagement, the Battle of Winceby helped to secure the county of Lincolnshire for the Parliament. Oliver Cromwell and Thomas Fairfax, whose future participation in the English Civil War would prove so important, showed their mettle in this small but significant battle. The second year of the English Civil War started with hopes of a quick Royalist Victory. By the county of Lincolnshire, the Royalists held the cities of Hull and Newark. Newark, the strategic key to the region, was considered the gateway to northern England. It served as a major recruiting center for the Royalists. Parliament appointed Major General Thomas Ballard to command a force of some 6,000 Roundheads to take Newark. Aware of the impe Read More Go to Site

Portsmouth was regarded, by both sides, as an important town to control in the period leading up to the start of the Civil War. It was a well fortified town and therefore could serve as the military headquarters in the south of the country. Portsmouth was especially important to the King as he was unable to rely on the loyalty of the main ports. Therefore, he needed a place in which he could bring in men and supplies from friends abroad. The Governor of Portsmouth, Colonel George Goring, was in contact wi Read More Go to Site
