Civil War

How events across the Irish sea accelerated war in England as the relationship between Parliament & King collapsed, dividing the country into Roundheads & Cavaliers.

Cromwell's victory at Marston Moor secured his rise to power, while, in Scotland, the so-called 'English-Civil-War' degenerated into a brutal clan feud between the MacDonalds & Campbells.

While the King is held to ransom by Parliament, Cromwell's New Model Army is in Putney debating radical proposals. Charles escapes & reignites war with the help of the Scots. A second civil war erupts in England, which is brutally suppressed by Cromwell. By re-igniting the war Charles's fate is sealed, a death warrant is forced through parliament and the King finally loses his head.
