A brief history of t he English Civil War by Howard Giles Why did the war happen? The English Civil War brought about significant liberties that we take for granted today. The name is rather misleading 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 just one. At the simplest level the war was caused by a power struggle between the forces of conservatism, represented by the unpopular King, Charles I , and those seeking a more modern constitution, headed by members of Parliament. Religion also played a major role. Increasingly, many people wanted greater freedom of worship, rather than tolerate the state-organised system. In the highly religious 17 th Century, this issue became extremely emotive. To complicate matters further, Catholics were extremely unpopular, as England’s traditional enemies (Spain and France) were Catholic powers and Charles’ queen, Henrietta Maria, was a French Catholic. Although Charles himself was sincerely Protestant, suspicions abounded. Relations between the two sides gradually broke down. With the King and key opponents in Parliament seemingly unable or unwilling to compromise, it was inevitable that a clash of wills would occur. Charles acted on 4 January 1642, personally entering the House of Commons with troops in order to arrest five MPs for treason. However, his gamble failed – “the birds had flown”. Although the thought appalled all involved, open warfare now became inevitable.

These sources show people and popular movements in crisis as they discovered the aim of all the anti-monarchical anguish, a Commonwealth, was not going to materialize after all. The people had been duped into usurping the king only to have him replaced by a corrupt 'rump' parliament of self-seeking capitalist merchants.

The English Civil War The war between the Crown (Cavaliers) and Parliament (Roundheads: closely cropped hair) was caused by an uprising of Irish Catholics after the massacre of Ulster in 1641, and the arrest of John Pym (one of the king's parliamentary opponents). Decisive factors in the war were the intervention of Scotland in 1643 and the new Parliamentary army under Oliver Cromwell . After Cromwell's victory charges of treason were brought against king Charles I. The trial was followed by the execution of the king and the abolition of the monarchy. www link : From infoplease The English Civil War

English Civil War The English Civil War, which started on Aug. 22, 1642, really consisted of three wars. The first, between King Charles I and Parliament, allied with the Scottish Covenanters, lasted until 1646; the second, in which a Scottish army fought for Charles I against Parliament, took place in 1648; and the last, in which the Scots were led by Charles II as their king, lasted from 1649 to 1651. The long-term causes of the wars were the growing wealth of the middle classes (gentry and merchants), who made up a majority in the House of Commons and demanded a larger influence upon the government, and the insufficiency of the king's hereditary finances, which made him dependent on the Commons whenever he was involved in the foreign wars. From 1629, avoiding such involvement, Charles had governed without a Parliament. But rebellion in Scotland (the so-called Bishops' Wars) compelled him to summon the Short Parliament and then the Long Parliament in 1640. The Commons were angry over the manner in which Charles I had raised new taxes without their consent and had revived obsolete feudal dues, while the majority of members with Puritan sympathies castigated Charles's church policies. The king made several concessionsincluding the sacrifice of his ablest advisors, William Laud, archbishop of Canterbury, and the earl of Straffordbut refused to have his ministers and commanders named for him and rejected the idea of handing over to Parliament the control of the militia, the only armed force in the kingdom. Charles's rejection of these demands, set forth in Parliament's Grand Remonstrance, led directly to war.

Oliver Cromwell Born: 1599 Died: 1658 London Cromwell, Oliver (1599-1658), English soldier and statesman, a Huntingdonshire gentleman who rose to power as the most successful general of the English Civil War , provided leadership for the New Model Army in its quarrel with the Long Parliament , and was instrumental in the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649. His conquest of Scotland and Ireland (1649-1653) preserved the English Commonwealth , and he governed Great Britain as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death. Early Years The fortunes of the Cromwell family were made with the dissolution of the monastries by Thomas Cromwell , Henry VIII's minister and their kinsman. They changed their family name (previously Williams) to that of their benefactor. Oliver, however, was the only son of a younger son of the family, who had also to provide for seven daughters; his inheritance was slender. Born in Huntingdon on April 25, 1599, he attended the local grammar school before going to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, which had a reputation for Puritanism . Cromwell, as normal with most gentlemen students, did not take a degree at university, and if he studied law in London, as is commonly said, there is no surviving record of it. In 1620 he married Elizabeth Bourchier and settled down on his modest estate. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Huntingdon in the parliament of 1628-1629.

The main turning point in the war came with the formation of the Parliamentarian New model Army in February 1645.
