Chronology of the English Civil Wars by Paul G. Cooper In an era dominated by the "Divine Right of Kings," England dared to create the first modern democracy. The years of 1642 through 1688 saw England undergoing a vast governmental change. Charles I, King of England from 1625 to 1649, touted the theory of the Divine Right of Kings, a medieval throwback proclaiming the king's absolute power over his subjects, limited only by his noblese oblige . This was during Louis XIV's time, when kings sought to secure absolute power and destroy all opposition. Unlike Louis, who succeeded in his quest for power, Charles I's inept handling of England's political, military, and religious affairs allowed for the creation of a highly effective opposition further solidified by the king's higher taxes and his ignoring the wishes of Parliament. Charles' failure to split the opposition via social class and economic prosperity finally led to a popular revolt led by Parliament on 2 January 1642.

English Civil War, 1642-1648 A.) Pre-History King Charles I. had not called Parliament since 1628, trying to rule absolute. The Ulster massacre of protestants in 1641 forced him to sent a (costly) force to Ireland; when the Scots (on whom the Book of Common Prayer had been imposed by Archbishop Laud) rose in revolt, King Charles needed money and had to call Parliament. In Parliament, a vocal minority of Puritans made demands which ultimately would increase the political influence of Parliament at the expense of the King. Charles attempted to have the Puritan leaders arrested during a Parliament session (Jan. 4th 1642); this act brought King and Parliament on a confrontation course. B.) The Course of Events Two forces, the Cavaliers (Royalists) and the Roundheads (Parliamentary Side) faced each other, the latter commanded by the Earl of Essex. The Battle of Edgehill Aug. 22nd 1642 was a Royalist victory. The Royalists took Bristol, but failed to take Gloucester (summer 1643). In January 1644, a Scottish army invaded (fighting alongside the Parliamentarians); in the Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd) the Royalists were defeated; York surrendered July 16th. The leadership of the Parliamentarian forces quarreled. In 1645, Cromwell's New Model Army appeared on the scene, a small, well-trained and highly motivated force. In the Battle of Naseby it defeated numerically superior Royalist forces (June 14th 1645). On May 5th 1646, King Charles surrendered to the Scots.

It began in the Summer of and continued until early , when Charles I was tried and executed by members of Parliament. It is often simply referred to in Britain as the "civil war", sometimes leading to confusion with the American Civil War . It was not, however, the only civil war ever fought in England or Britain (See List of English civil wars . It is sometimes referred to as the "English Revolution" and (especially in Royalist circles) as "the Great Rebellion". Prelude to the English Civil War Looking back on the events leading the to civil war, one would not imagine that it could have ever taken place. It was less than forty years since the death of Queen Elizabeth . After her, England in the era of Charles I was a fairly peaceful place, and had been so in living memory. Charles had real hope of fulfilling his father's, James I of England (James VI of Scotland), dream of uniting the entirety of the British Isles in a single

The English Civil War, 1642-1651 King Charles I The English Civil War, as it is usually known, should really be seen as a British conflict, as there were few areas of the British Isles which were not in some way affected. There was fighting in Scotland, Ireland and Wales, as well as in England itself. A recent estimate suggests that there were as many as 250,000 war-related deaths in Britain during this period - a greater proportion of the population than the British dead of the First World War. Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex Personal rule Religious differences Crisis in Scotland The recall of Parliament Two sides emerge Rebellion in Ireland The last step In January 1642, Charles was foiled in his attempt to arrest five Members of Parliament who led the opposition to his policies. He left London for York, and both sides prepared for war. Taking Sides The coming of the Civil War in 1642 divided friends, families, and local communities. Most would have preferred not to become involved but, as the struggle deepened, commitment was more difficult to avoid. For many it was an agonising choice. Self-interest also played its part. There was profit to be made from confiscated lands, whilst professional soldiers on both sides were suspected of wanting to prolong the fighting to keep themselves in employment.

Events - English Civil War Civil War First phase of the war The Royalist and Parliamentarian armies first met at the Battle of Edgehill, South Warwickshire, in October 1642, which had no conclusive outcome. After this initial battle, a series of victories followed for both sides, with the Royalists taking control of most of Yorkshire after the Battle of Adwalton Moor in June 1643, while the Parliamentarians won the Battle of Marston Moor in July 1644. The main turning point in the war came with the formation of the Parliamentarian New model Army in February 1645. The army was nationally organized and regularly paid, was commanded by Thomas Cromwell and Sir Thomas Fairfax, and won a resounding victory at the Battle of Naseby, near Leicester, which brought the first stage of the war to an end in June 1645.

Civil War Timeline Introduction Danish Invasion of 870 ... World War 2 The English Civil War The English Civil War was between the King and Parliament. was due to many factors. The King had made people pay an unpopular tax, called Ship Money. He had tried to rule without Parliament for a number of years, and he was thought to be sympathetic to Catholic people, as the Queen was a Catholic. In Berkshire, the King asked the sheriff to gather together men for his army. The Earl of Berkshire started quite well, but then with the support of the Vachel family, who were related to Oliver Cromwell, the county started supporting Parliament. Reading now spent several months as a Royalist town. Each family was forced to have troops staying in their rooms. Money was taken from the town to pay for the army. By December, Arthur Aston had been appointed as governor of Reading and the King left for his new headquarters at Oxford. Over the next few months, the Kings supporters in Reading became more and more desperate, as they gave the King all their money and goods, while at the same time not being able to earn any more as the wool trade had stopped as no cloth could go downstream to London.

The army resisted Parliament's proposal to disband it by capturing the king from the parliamentary party and marching on London. Army discontent gradually became more radical (see Levelers ), and the desire grew to dispose of the king altogether. Refusing to accept the army council's proposals for peace (the Heads of the Proposals), Charles escaped in Nov., 1647, and took refuge on the Isle of Wight, where he negotiated simultaneously with Parliament and the Scots. In Dec., 1647, he concluded an agreement with the Scots known as the Engagement, by which he agreed to accept Presbyterianism in return for military support. In the spring of 1648, the second civil war began. Uprisings in Wales, Kent, and Essex were all suppressed by the parliamentary forces, and Cromwell defeated the Scots at Preston (Aug. 17, 1648). Charles's hopes of aid from France or Ireland proved vain, and the war was quickly over. Parliament again tried to reach some agreement with the king, but the army, now completely under Cromwell's domination, disposed of its enemies in Parliament by Pride's Purge (Dec., 1648; see under

However, it is true that the parliamentary, or Puritan, group drew much of its strength from the gentry and from the merchant classes and artisans of London, Norwich, Hull, Plymouth, and Gloucester; it centered in the southeastern counties and had control of the fleet. The majority of the great nobles followed the king, who had the support of most Anglicans and Roman Catholics; geographically the royalist strength centered in the north and west. The first major engagement of the armies at Edgehill (Oct. 23, 1642) was a drawn battle. Charles then established himself at Oxford. The royalist forces gained ground in the north and west, although repeated attempts by the king to advance on London proved abortive. The indecisive engagements of 1643 were remarkable mainly for the emergence of Oliver Cromwell , an inconspicuous member of the Long Parliament, to military prominence with his own regiment of "godly" men, soon to become famous as the Ironsides.

These three books are but a sample of his immense output over more than half a century of writing on the subject.. Since it was first published in 1961, The Century of Revolution has become established as a classic. The years between 1603 and 1714 were perhaps the most decisive in English history. During this period modern English society and a modern state began to take shape, and England's position in the world was transformed. It tries to penetrate below the familiar events to grasp what happened to ordinary English men and women as well as to kings and queens or abstractions like society and the State.
