Entries Publication Data Maps Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to Military History English Civil Wars The civil wars of seventeenth-century England also involved the two other kingdoms ruled by the Stuart dynasty, Scotland and Ireland. The invasion of England by a Scottish army seeking religious concessions in 1639 and again in 1640 precipitated political deadlock in London, which paved the way for a rebellion by Catholic Ireland (October 1641). The struggle between King Charles I and his Westminster Parliament over who should control the army needed to crush the Irish insurrection in turn provoked the outbreak of civil war in England (August 1642). Initially northern and western England, together with much of Ireland, stood for the king, while the southeast (including London), the Royal Navy, and Scotland fought for Parliament. However, at Marston Moor (July 2, 1644) Charles lost control of the north; and the following year, at Naseby (June 14, 1645) the Parliamentary forces led by Oliver Cromwell routed his main field army.

Famous for picturesque villages of mellow honey-coloured stone, gentle hills, peaceful pastures and winding rivers. However 362 years ago it was a very different scene, for the Cotswolds were the setting for bloody battles and violent skirmishes during the English Civil War. The English Civil War was in fact two civil wars, 1642 to 1645, and 1648 to 1649, fought between King Charles I and the Royalists ("Cavaliers") and the supporters of Parliament ("Roundheads"). These wars would lead to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son (later to become Charles II), and the replacement of the English monarchy with the Commonwealth of England and later the Protectorate under the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell. There were many reasons for the Civil War, not least of all Charles' temperament and personality. Charles was arrogant, conceited and like his father James, a strong believer in the divine rights of kings. From 1625 to 1629, Charles argued with Parliament over most issues, but money (Charles had none) and religion (he had married a Catholic Queen) were the most common ones. When Parliament refused to do as Charles wished, he dissolved it. Charles needed money to pay for a war against the Scots and levied heavy taxes on the people. By 1642, relations between Parliament and the King had broken down. Charles left London to head for Oxford to raise an army to fight Parliament for control of England, and the Civil War had begun.

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.

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.

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.
