The period of unrest in which came to be called the English Civil War when the Roundheads of the common
people and the Cavaliers of the the Gentry came into a conflict which ended up changing the
whole constitutional basis of the country.
This culminating with the Cromwellian New Model Army bringing down the English Monarchy for a short
period and commiting the first act of Regicide in the UK by killing a reigning monarch. However it was
to herald the start of the current political system that has been in use for the past five hundred years
in England with an elected lower Parliament and a recreated Constitutional Monarchy ruling by right of
Parliament.
Major internal strife and conflicts as the population, lead by Oliver Cromwell fought the King's men at
various battles around England including Duppers Hill and Knaresbrook.
