| | English Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Before the War, Parliament was not a permanent feature of English government, but acted as a temporary advisory committee—summoned by the monarch whenever the monarch required additional tax revenue, and subject to dissolution at the monarch's will. | | | 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 wars led to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son Charles II, and the replacement of the English monarchy with the Commonwealth of England (1649–1653) and then with a Protectorate (1653–1659) under the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell. |

| | Lecture 7: The English Civil War |
| | The English Civil War was as much the response to the effects of the Reformation as it was a response to the needs of the rising middle classes, the landed gentry. | | | The existence of the gentry in the early 17th century was not enough to stimulate a civil war. | | | Colonel Rainborough, who represented the commoners, argued that every man who contracts with a civil government ought to have a voice in that government. |

| | BBC - h2g2 - The English Civil War | | | Although most historians date the start of the civil war at 22 August, 1642, when the Royal standard was raised at Nottingham, a complete study of the civil war cannot be done without looking at the causes of the English Civil War. | | | The English Civil War was not, as is often portrayed, a war between dashing Cavaliers and sombre Parliamentarians, these are just typecast roles and are as false as modern stereotypes. |

| | 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. |
