Clothed conservatively , he possessed a Puritan fervor and a commanding voice, he quickly made a name for himself by serving in both the Short Parliament (April 1640) and the Long Parliament (August 1640 through April 1660). Charles I, pushing his finances to bankruptcy and trying to force a new prayer book on Scotland, was badly beaten by the Scots, who demanded £850 per day from the English until the two sides reached agreement. Charles had no choice but to summon Parliament. The Long Parliament, taking an aggressive stance, steadfastly refused to authorize any funding until Charles was brought to heel. The Triennial Act of 1641 assured the summoning of Parliament at least every three years, a formidable challenge to royal prerogative. The Tudor institutions of fiscal feudalism (manipulating antiquated feudal fealty laws to extract money), the Court of the Star Chamber and the Court of High Commission were declared illegal by Act of Parliament later in 1641. A new era of leadership from the House of Commons (backed by middle class merchants, tradesmen and Puritans) had commenced. Parliament resented the insincerity with which Charles settled with both them and the Scots, and despised his links with Catholicism.

His family had become wealthy following the dissolution of the monasteries by Thomas Cromwell and had changed their name from Williams to Cromwell in recognition of the man that had made their fortune. He attended Cambridge University where he gained a reputation for his committment to Puritanism. In 1620 he married Elizabeth Bourchier and the couple had two sons. In 1628 he became Member of Parliament for Huntingdon. In 1640 he was elected to the Long Parliament as Member for Cambridge, although he played no prominent part in the government. When the Civil war began in 1642, Cromwell was sent to organise the defence of Norfolk. He was noted for his organisational skills and bravery and when the East Anglian counties formed the Eastern Association, Cromwell was put in charge of the cavalry. His reputation was further enhanced when his cavalry made a notable contribution to the Battle of Marston Moor. When the New Model Army was formed, Cromwell was made General of the Horse and he played an important part in the defeat of the King in the Battle of Naseby.

English Civil War - Page 15 of 23 Oliver Cromwell The undisputed leader of Parliament was Oliver Cromwell. He had been born in Huntingdon, East Anglia in 1599, while Elizabeth was still queen. His family had done well out of the Dissolution of monasteries, under Henry VIII, but Cromwell was not wealthy. He first appeared in Parliament in 1627, but his early political career was unremarkable. He grew in influence when he sided with Henry Pym and became identified with those who opposed the king. He was a plain-looking, plain-living man with an obstinate will and a genuine talent for command and battle. He came into his own through the army. He believed utterly that he was called by God to save England and protestantism. History of Western Civilization Boise State University Last Revised 17 August 1995

By 1540 Manchester had been granted the right of Sanctuary, and this also ended with the dissolution. By 1579 the Lordship of Manchester had been purchased by Richard Lacy, a local mercer, and in 1596, Sir Richard Mosley, former Lord Mayor of London, gained the Lordship of the "Manor of Manchester". In 1642, with the outbreak of hostilities in the Civil War, and with Manchester taking a distinctly Parliamentarian side, the town was besieged by Royalist forces - probably the first siege of the Civil War. The town's fortified location evidently proved unassailable, for in 1644 Prince Rupert decided to bypass Manchester and went on to sac

Home English Civil Wars Cromwell had grown to manhood during the reign of James I (King of England 1603-25) and to maturity during that of Charles I (King from 1625). Historians suggest that England was experiencing problems over this period, though they disagree about their nature and seriousness and the degree to which they contributed to the crisis of the 1640s. Some emphasise long-term issues: social tensions resulting from a rapidly expanding population, which caused worsening unemployment, poverty and disorder; class-based tensions caused by the increasing affluence of the middle classes or the declining position of the old aristocracy; constitutional tensions between a crown which was anxious to retain and extend its powers and a parliament which wanted more power for itself and greater rights and liberties for the people; political tensions, caused especially by the failure of royal income to keep up with expenditure and by the attempts of various monarchs to raise extra money; This site is jointly maintained by the Cromwell Association and the Cromwell Museum Huntingdon Please make all proposals and requests for reciprocal links to mail@olivercromwell.org

15. Oliver Cromwell oliver cromwell led the parliamentary forces to victory over theRoyalists in the english civil war of the seventeenth century. http://www.carpenoctem.tv/military/cromwell.html

Oliver Cromwell English General Oliver Cromwell led the parliamentary forces to victory over the Royalists in the English Civil War of the seventeenth century. His accomplishments resulted in the adoption of a democratic government for England; the reestablishment of his country as a military power after an absence of nearly two centuries; and his own position as Lord Protector, with a mixture of powers of king and dictator. Cromwell, a brilliant, innovative military commander, exhibited an unusual blend of compassion and ruthlessness as he molded the English army into a professional force. Cromwell's remarkable military career did not begin until he was past forty years of age. Born on April 25, 1599, to a life of a gentleman farmer in Huntingdon, religion became the focus of his early life. By his twenties, Cromwell actively practiced the religious beliefs of the Puritans, who wished to "purify" the national church and political structure of Roman Catholic influence. From that time forward, it is impossible to separate Cromwell's political ambitions from his religious ideas and prejudices. From 1628 to 1629, Cromwell represented Huntingdon in Parliament but returned home after King Charles I disbanded that government body. Only after civil war broke out in 1642 following a power struggle between King Charles, supported by the Royalists, and Parliament, supported by rebels, did Cromwell become involved in the military. (According to some accounts, in his youth Cromwell served as a mercenary in Europe, but there is no substantiation, and these claims are almost surely false.)

Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of England (1599-1658) There is definitely an association between John Knox and Oliver Cromwell. 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 scholar, as was Knox, nevertheless God elevated him to a greater leadership role. Oliver Cromwell was born into a common family of English country Puritans having none of the advantages of upbringing that would prepare him to be leader of a nation. Yet he had a God-given ability to earn the loyalty and respect of men of genius who served him throughout his lifetime. John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress served under his command in the English Civil War, and John Milton, who penned Paradise Lost, served as his personal secretary. The English people were bent upon the establishment of a democratic parliamentary system of civil government and the elimination of the "Divine Right of Kings." King Charles I, the tyrant who had long persecuted the English Puritans by having their ears cut off and their noses slit for defying his attempts to force episcopacy on their churches, finally clashed with Parliament over a long ordeal with new and revolutionary ideas. The Puritans, or "Roundheads" as they were called, finally led a civil war against the King and his Cavaliers.

The English Civil War at Hinchingbrooke The English Civil War What were the causes of the Civil War? Background: Charles I was son of King James. His queen was the Catholic Henrietta Maria, something which annoyed the Puritans. Charles believed in Divine Right - which meant he believed he was chosen by God and that therefore Parliament should do as he said. Parliament, however, felt they represented the people and should have more control over running the country. When Charles asked for more money they gave him only a fraction of what he asked for - so he dismissed them. Calling a third Parliament in 1628 he again failed to get enough money from them. He closed Parliament and it remained closed for eleven years. For money he charged fines and taxes on the people. In 1637 he needed to create an army against the Scots so he had to call a Parliament to raise the money to pay them. They met in 1640 and before they would give him money they gave him a list of complaints, called "The Grand Remonstrance." Charles agreed to many limits on his powers but this was too much.
