Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of England (1599-1658) There is definitely an association between John Knox and Oliver Cromwell. Knox, in his book The Reformation of Scotland, outlined the whole process without which the British model of government under Oliver Cromwell never would not have been possible. Yet Knox was more consistently covenantal in his thinking. He recognized that civil government is based on a covenant between the magistrate (or the representative or king) and the populace. His view was that when the magistrate defects from the covenant, it is the duty of the people to overthrow him. Cromwell was not a learned scholar, as was Knox, nevertheless God elevated him to a greater leadership role. Oliver Cromwell was born into a common family of English country Puritans having none of the advantages of upbringing that would prepare him to be leader of a nation. Yet he had a God-given ability to earn the loyalty and respect of men of genius who served him throughout his lifetime. John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress served under his command in the English Civil War, and John Milton, who penned Paradise Lost, served as his personal secretary. The English people were bent upon the establishment of a democratic parliamentary system of civil government and the elimination of the "Divine Right of Kings." King Charles I, the tyrant who had long persecuted the English Puritans by having their ears cut off and their noses slit for defying his attempts to force episcopacy on their churches, finally clashed with Parliament over a long ordeal with new and revolutionary ideas. The Puritans, or "Roundheads" as they were called, finally led a civil war against the King and his Cavaliers.

5. The Causes Of The English Civil War The causes of the english civil war Charles I oliver cromwell As with many wars, there are long and short term causes. Long term causes http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/english_civil-war.htm

The causes of the English Civil War Charles I Oliver Cromwell The English Civil War has many causes but the personality of Charles I must be counted as one of the major reasons. Few people could have predicted that the civil war , that started in 1642, would have ended with the public execution of King Charles I . His most famous opponent in this war was Oliver Cromwell - one of the men who signed the death warrant of Charles No king had ever been executed in England and the execution of Charles was not greeted with joy. How did the English Civil War break out? As with many wars, there are long and short term causes. Long term causes The status of the monarchy had started to decline under the reign of James I . He was known as the "wisest fool in Christendom". James was a firm believer in the "divine right of kings". This was a belief that God had made someone a king and as God could not be wrong, neither could anyone appointed by him to rule a nation. James expected Parliament to do as he wanted; he did not expect it to argue with any of his decisions. However, Parliament had one major advantage over

OLIVER CROMWELL 1599 - 1658 Oliver Cromwell was born into the Huntington Gentry. He descended from a sister of Thomas Lord Cromwell, the unpopular Minister of King Henry VIII. His ancestor called Williams changed his name to benefit from a connection to the rising politician. the family subsequently lived as minor gentry. Cromwell, after marriage, entered Parliament in 1628. At this time the franchise was open to very few so generally it was members of the aristocracy and gentry who formed the bulk of Members of Parliament. He was a Puritan in religion and politics in days when it was expected that the two would be part of the same thing, So as a Puritan he found himself standing firmly with the opposition to Charles I.. The Puritans were zealous protestants, mainly of the non-labouring classes, eg Alderman, merchants, clothworkers. They led the movement, especially in the period 1640-2 against popery (Catholocism), and were very anti-images, not interested in building or repairing churches and regarded the importance of the beliefs and behaviour of the inner man, not outward observance. They were against Anglicans like Archibishop William Laud, members of the 'Arminian' movement who saught to reverse some of the changes of the reformation and alter the balance between the extremes of Geneva and Rome. The Arminians also suited the King as they believed in the Divine Right of Kings and bishops. The Puritans had a fear of popery and during the first quarter of the Century were forming quite a large percentage of the English emigrating to New England.

English Civil War - Page 15 of 23 Oliver Cromwell The undisputed leader of Parliament was Oliver Cromwell. He had been born in Huntingdon, East Anglia in 1599, while Elizabeth was still queen. His family had done well out of the Dissolution of monasteries, under Henry VIII, but Cromwell was not wealthy. He first appeared in Parliament in 1627, but his early political career was unremarkable. He grew in influence when he sided with Henry Pym and became identified with those who opposed the king. He was a plain-looking, plain-living man with an obstinate will and a genuine talent for command and battle. He came into his own through the army. He believed utterly that he was called by God to save England and protestantism. History of Western Civilization Boise State University Last Revised 17 August 1995

The English Civil War at Hinchingbrooke The English Civil War What were the causes of the Civil War? Background: Charles I was son of King James. His queen was the Catholic Henrietta Maria, something which annoyed the Puritans. Charles believed in Divine Right - which meant he believed he was chosen by God and that therefore Parliament should do as he said. Parliament, however, felt they represented the people and should have more control over running the country. When Charles asked for more money they gave him only a fraction of what he asked for - so he dismissed them. Calling a third Parliament in 1628 he again failed to get enough money from them. He closed Parliament and it remained closed for eleven years. For money he charged fines and taxes on the people. In 1637 he needed to create an army against the Scots so he had to call a Parliament to raise the money to pay them. They met in 1640 and before they would give him money they gave him a list of complaints, called "The Grand Remonstrance." Charles agreed to many limits on his powers but this was too much.

The English Civil War Regimental History Men of the Regiment Charles Stuart, King of England Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector Thomas Fairfax The king, Charles, raised his standard at Nottingham in what is accepted by historians as a sign by the king that he intended to fight Parliament for power in England. His support came from the nobility, large landowners, the church and from people in the north and west of England. In October, a battle was fought at Edgehill but neither side won it and from a military point of view it was an indecisive battle. Oliver Cromwell was appointed the leader of Parliamentís cavalry. Parliament made an alliance with the Scots which threatened Charles from the north. Both sides won minor battles but none of them were decisive. The kingís Royalist army was heavily defeated by Parliament at Marston Moor in Yorkshire. Charles lost control of the north of England. The New Model Army was formed by Parliament. This exceptionally well trained force inflicted a severe defeat on the army of Charles at Naseby. The king lost his guns and ammunition at the end of this battle. Charles surrendered to the Scots in the hope that Parliament would fall out on what to do after Naseby. There was conflict in Parliament on how the church in England should be run.

ISBN: 0415051789 There is an immense range of books about the English Civil War, but one historian stands out above all others for the range and quality of his work on the subject: Christopher Hill. These three books are but a sample of his immense output over more than half a century of writing on the subject.. Since it was first published in 1961, The Century of Revolution has become established as a classic. The years between 1603 and 1714 were perhaps the most decisive in English history. During this period modern English society and a modern state began to take shape, and England's position in the world was transformed. It tries to penetrate below the familiar events to grasp what happened to ordinary English men and women as well as to kings and queens or abstractions like society and the State.
