Home Index of Reviews Links History in Review , By Christopher Hibbert. (New York: HarperCollins, 1997. Pg. 337) ISBN: 0-2461-3632-4 Reviewed by Rochelle Caviness - July 29, 2001 (Please note that this review is based on the unabridged audio edition of Christopher Hibbert is a respected biographer and historian. He has written on a variety of historical topics ranging from the French Revolution to The Great Mutiny in India that occurred in 1857. As well as biographies of prominent personalities such as, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, King George III, Wellington, and Benito Mussolini to name just a sampling of Hibbert's many works. In Cavaliers and Roundheads: The English Civil War 1642-1649 Hibbert continues his efforts to write about history in a personable manner that opens up the broad vistas of the past to the general reader. Rather than a strict history book, Cavaliers and Roundheads is more of a social history of England during the Civil War. He concentrates more upon what happened and how it affected people, than on what actually caused the events chronicled. This is a compelling look at the English Civil War. Hibbert's narrative is spiced with period writings and includes excerpts from letters and diaries. He opens the book with a general overview of English history leading up to the Civil War. He then precedes to discuss the actual Civil War and Oliver Cromwell's reign as Lord Protector. The book concludes with an analysis of the effects that the Civil War had, and the direction that England took after the monarchy was restored. Throughout, Hibbert takes delight in offering personal peeks at the major personalities involved. For instance, when discussing the events leading up the eruption of the civil war, he describes one of the causes simply stating that, "The King was reluctant to recognize that his authority was limited by what it was possible to achieve..."

The causes of the English Civil War Charles I Oliver Cromwell The English Civil War has many causes but the personality of Charles I must be counted as one of the major reasons. Few people could have predicted that the civil war , that started in 1642, would have ended with the public execution of King Charles I . 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. Long term causes The status of the monarchy had started to decline under the reign of James I . He was known as the "wisest fool in Christendom". James was a firm believer in the "divine right of kings". This was a belief that God had made someone a king and as God could not be wrong, neither could anyone appointed by him to rule a nation. James expected Parliament to do as he wanted; he did not expect it to argue with any of his decisions. However, Parliament had one major advantage over

The English Civil War 1642 to 1649 The king, Charles , raised his standard at Nottingham in what is accepted by historians as a sign by the king that he intended to fight Parliament for power in England. His support came from the nobility, large landowners, the church and from people in the north and west of England. In October, a battle was fought at Edgehill but neither side won it and from a military point of view it was an indecisive battle. Oliver Cromwell was appointed the leader of Parliament’s cavalry. Parliament made an alliance with the Scots which threatened Charles from the north. Both sides won minor battles but none of them were decisive. The king’s Royalist army was heavily defeated by Parliament at Marston Moor in Yorkshire. Charles lost control of the north of England. The New Model Army was formed by Parliament. This exceptionally well trained force inflicted a severe defeat on the army of Charles at Naseby . The king lost his guns and ammunition at the end of this battle. Charles surrendered to the Scots in the hope that Parliament would fall out on what to do after Naseby . There was conflict in Parliament on how the church in England should be run. Parliament paid £400,000 to the Scots for

The Bishops' Wars, 1639 and 1640 T he Bishops' Wars were fought between the Scots and English forces led by Charles I . These conflicts paved the way for the uprising of Parliament that began the English civil wars. Charles I was attempting to enforce Anglican reforms onto the Scottish church. However the Scots were opposed to this, and even wanted to destroy the control that bishops had over the church. To this end, Charles' reforms were rejected by the Scottish Assembly at Glasgow in 1638. Charles was furious that the Scots had rejected his proposals, and hastily formed an English force with which to march on Scotland in 1639. He did not have the funds for such a military expedition, nor confidence in his troops, so he was forced to leave Scotland without fighting a battle. The unrest continued in Scotland, and when Charles discovered that they had been plotting with the French he again decided to mount a military expedition. This time, Charles called Parliament in order to get funds (1640).

The baiting of the great Bull of Bashan John Lilburne and the Levellers At the end of the 16th century there were two important changes of Britain's Position in Europe: the defeat of the spanish Armada and the defeat of the Netherlands as a concurrent in world trade. On this basis english foreign trade prospered as well as english manufactures developed. The towns grew with industry. This led inevitably to contradictions between the lords, and the king was naturally their head, and this new bourgeoisie. For a certain time feudal privileges and manufacturers interests could coexist, but this was temporarily because the power of the lords and the king declined whereas the power of the merchants and manufacturers increased. King James I and after him Charles I always needed more money than they got. In 1629 the parliament made a first attempt to limit the expenses and to get more rights. But Charles I sent the parliament home and continued for 11 years without. When in 1640 a rebellion of the scottish presbyterians started, Charles had no money to bring up an army. He had to call the parliament to get more taxes. But the parliament refused taxes and accused the chancellor Strafford and the archbishop of Canterbury as traitors. Charles had no choice than to drop his best servants. Both were executed.

Who was oliver cromwell? Learn about the life of Oliver Cromwell, his role in the English Civil War and time as Lord Protector of the Realm. Oliver Cromwell is one of the most colourful of people in British history, establishing himself as both a skillful military leader and astute politician. He helped to win the English Civil War for the Parliamentarians and steadied the country afterwards with a series of sensible political and social reforms. Born in Huntingdon, England in 1599, Oliver Cromwell was brought up in a family that was reasonably well off, but had by no means the wealth to scale the social ladder which, at the time, brought a certain power with it. Strong religious beliefs were present in the household; the family were Puritans (English Protestants that wished to simplify and regulate forms of worship). bodyOffer(33036) A good education was affordable, so Cromwell schooled at Huntingdon Grammar, during which time his father died, and Cambridge University. He graduated and became a small landowner, earning a crust farming and collecting rent. He became a respected figure amongst local Puritans from around 1527 when a call from God saw him emerge as a religious leader and foremost in the running of the church. Two years earlier Charles I had come to power. Soon he came to be considered as an oppressor of the Puritans, sometimes having them randomly assaulted with no apparent motive other than oppression. Essentially he was a Catholic who wished to impinge certain rituals and ceremonies upon the Church of England. Then, in 1629, he dissolved Parliament, deeming it would be better to rule England by himself. Throughout the 1630s he didnt call Parliament once, which obviously made him very unpopular with them. At the same time Cromwell had joined Parliament as MP for Cambridge and in 1640 events began that would form the destinies of Charles and himself in extremely contrasting ways.

Unit 10: Absolutism / English Revolution The House of Commons Protests Against Royal Policy Throughout the 1630s, Charles I (r. 1625-1649) ruled England without calling Parliament. During this period of personal rule, Charles enforced a conservative ecclesiastical policy that the Puritans saw as ultimately leading to the establishment of Catholicism. In secular government, taxes of dubious legality were collected. When a revolt in Scotland forced Charles to finally reconvene Parliament in 1640, the opposition leaders were determined to limit the crown’s executive authority. The following protestation, issued by the House of Commons in 1641, highlights the political differences between Charles and the Long Parliament that led to the outbreak of civil war in 1642. The Putney Debates Following their victory over the royalists in the First Civil War (1646), the Long Parliament's army, called the New Model, began to play an active role in revolutionary politics. The Levelers, a party advocating democracy, gained converts and spread propaganda in many regiments. The politicization of the New Model Army is illustrated by the Putney Debates, which took place in a London suburb in 1647. These debates, which discussed the political settlement of the kingdom, took place between Leveler representatives of the rank and file and the New Model's Officer Corps. In the following exchange, Colonel Thomas Harrison, a Leveler, calls for universal manhood suffrage, while General Henry Ireton, a close ally of Cromwell's, supports a more restrictive franchise.

History of Ireland 1629 - 1687: The English Civil War and Cromwell History Menu All through these events the power of the English Parliament was steadily increasing. The Parliament was an elected organisation set up by the King to manage the country as it was becoming too much work for the King. Although officially ruled by the King, Parliament was increasing its power to such an extent that by the 1600s it could no longer be relied upon to do what the King wanted. King Charles 1st first came into conflict with his Parliament in 1629 when he ordered Parliament to raise taxes and it refused. His response was to abolish Parliament and he ruled England on his own for 11 years. However, the people didn't support him and he ran so short of money that he was forced to reinstate Parliament in 1640. However conflict broke out again in 1642 when Charles tried to arrest 5 members of Parliament who had been actively disagreeing with his policies. The MPs fled into the back streets of London but when the King went after them, the citizens expelled him angrily from their city. This was a direct violation by the people of the supreme power of the King and marked the beginning of the English Civil War. In 1641, just prior to the Civil War, the Irish of Ulster had begun an uprising and attacked the planters who had been settled 30 years before. Between 10,000 and 15,000 Protestant planters were murdered by the Irish at places such as Portadown. Due to the war, the English did nothing about this and the death-toll became heavily exaggerated over time. In 1649, after the Civil War had ended, Cromwell landed at Dublin with 12,000 men with the intention of punishing those who had uprisen. He first attacked Drogheda and captured it, killing over 3000 people. He then marched on Wexford town and massacred several hundred people there. The surrounding towns of Cork, Bandon, Kinsale and Youghal surrendered. Cromwell left Ireland in 1650 having dealt a severe blow to the uprising Irish.

The Stuarts, 1603-1649 Cromwell The English Civil War, 1641-48 In 1628, Parliament, in the PETITION OF RIGHTS, had demanded protection against arbitrarily raised taxes and against arbitrary arrests. Charles dissolved Parliament and did not call it for the following 12 years. Attempts to merge the Church of Scotland with the Anglican Church were answered by a SCOTTISH UPRISING. The king, already having an army fight in Ireland, did not have the money to raise an army against the Scots; he had no choice but to call Parliament and ask for taxes. Parliament was dominated by the PURITANS, lead by JOHN PYM. It imposed controls over government. Two unpopular royal advisers, Sir THOMAS STRAFFORD and Archbishop WILLIAM LAUD were tried and executed because of treason. In 1642 the King, accompanied by an armed guard, entered Parliament planning to arrest the Puritan leaders. He did not succeed, but Parliament, seeing it's constitutional privilege infringed upon, declared the state of civil war. In the civil war, the royalists (called CAVALIERS) were opposed to the Parliamentarians (ROUNDHEADS). Early in the war, the royalists defeated the Parliamentarians. OLIVER CROMWELL, raising and training an army of his own, then won the BATTLE OF NASEBY against a superior Royalist force. In 1648 the war ended, with Charles I. being taken prisoner by the Scots. They handed him over to Cromwell.

Nevertheless, as a member of the gentry, he was expected to exercise leadership. Most professional soldiers of the day were royalists, so anyone of wealth who could raise troops for Parliament was encouraged to do so. Cromwell's first act was to raise troops on his own and seize valuable silver plate at the University of Cambridge. He later returned home and organized the Eastern Association Army from five Eastern countries, a source of strong support for Parliament, which provided more men than any other area in England.
