| | English Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | With the monarchy restored with the consent of Parliament, the civil wars effectively set England and Scotland on course to become a parliamentary democracy. | | | The first (1642–1645) and the second (1648–1649) civil wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third (1649–1651) was between supporters of Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. | | | The wars inextricably mingled with and formed part of a linked series of conflicts and civil wars between 1639 and 1651 in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, which at that time shared a monarch but formed distinct countries with otherwise separate political structures. |

| | Today, English Heritage runs a giant annual festival of history, the Heritage Lottery Fund supports an admirably diverse range of heritage groups, while clubs such as the Sealed Knot and the English Civil War Society form major components of historical civil society. | | | As July merges into August, the great battles of the English Civil War, the Wars of the Roses, even the Roman invasion will once again be re-enacted to the delight of millions. | | | However, what is more marked is the failure of the media to deal with heritage as a subject. |
