This episode of Ten Minute History covers the late reign of Charles I and his problems with the Bishops' War and the conflict with parliament. It wasn't long before Charles' duplicity and method of rule saw the outbreak of war between Parliament and the king's forces. The civil wars spanned about a decade and eventually saw the execution of Charles I and the ascendancy of Oliver Cromwell as the Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth (a republic). His rule saw the conquest of Ireland and war with Spain and the Dutch Republic and after Cromwell's death in 1658, it wasn't long before Charles's son, Charles II, was restored to the throne.
Recommended reading:
Barry Coward and Peter Gaunt - The Stuart Age: England 1603-1714. Fantastic and very detailed work which I'd recommend for undergrads but a bit dense for those simply interested in the period.
John Miller - Early Modern Britain: 1450-1750. A phenomenal book. It's an overview of the entire period and really a must have if you are looking to study Britain during the era. Cannot recommend this book enough (or the others in the series).

One essential thing this video leaves out though is that even though the monarchy was restored with Charles II, it was a much reduced monarchy. A monarchy that had to answer to Parliament much in line with what Parliament had originally demanded from Charles I. Thus, Parliament eventually got what it wanted, though only after having endured Cromwell's dictatorship.

@@northchurch753 For Anglicans that should read High Church Anglicans as the English puritans (Presbyterians and Independents) were still a part of the Church of England and aimed at a second reformation from within the church. The Brownists and separatists on the other hand while holding similar theological views to the puritan parliamentarians were as their name suggests not particularly welcomed by parliament. In their quest for freedom of religion it was the independents or congregationalist puritans who first set sail for the new world. The American Presbyterians differed at the time from their English counterparts by embracing the same ideal as the independents in regards to freedom of worship. This is reflected in the American revision of the Westminster Confession which is the statement of doctrine held by that denomination.

Support for the Royalists bit the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony in the butt after the Restoration when Charles II revoked their corporate charter, appointed a royal governor, and ordered some antidemocratic practises of their colonial government changed immediately.

Cromwell wasn't anti royalist but he was anti Stuart. It is this period that helped the UK to become a constitutional monarchy. This in turn prevented the revolution that saw the end of the French monarchy. Incidentally, Cromwell saw the fight as a fight for religious freedom and liberty of conscience.

Half the history books seem to go completely out of their way to demonise Cromwell. He was clearly a VERY complicated character, and yet we normally just get accusations of genocide and tyranny - despite the fact that it is recorded that he executed his own troops for pillaging/rape after battle, and that he rejected the crown and did not want to rule. Those records of him, and then later things he's described as seem to be in conflict with one-another. It's a little bit sad that such a one-sided view of him is held by the masses; I guess its largely because the Irish used him as a part of their new 'foundation myth', which like most myths is not really rooted in 100% truth, and generally is prone to a lot of exaggerations and distortions to better justify their own beliefs about themselves and their place in the world.

Same. But, it also made me reflect on how many 1 or 2 hour lectures I sat through in college that could really have been presented in 10 minutes, but you know: money.

This channel continues to teach me random stuff that I never knew, even after studying this period for a while. I never knew that Cromwell was offered the crown, nor that he refused it to avoid looking like he had thrown a coup.

Its amazing how we can simplify historical events like this. Even detach thinking about all the people that died

Still waiting for the Glorious Revolution. I really hope it comes around (because I believe its quite glossed over)

Wow, I learnt so much about the English civil war from this short video , that I didn't know before. Well done.

At 0:35, I like the reference to Van Dyck’s “Triple Portrait” of Charles I.

Joining the masses in hoping you return to this, even if it's no longer the 10 minute format. I enjoyed running through these, honestly my only gripe (which I think got better over time) was slapping the mic for deaths, the lack of processing of that sound is like clapping someones ears (and although it's probably fine, there's a paranoid part of me concerned it might wreck headphone drivers haha)

Not sure if you see these comments with how many you get, but I just wanted to say thanks for making these. They are informative and I often play one or two of them in the background while I work. Amazing job :3

Please continue this, your series has been a great help in studying UK history for me, and it'd be sad if this was cut and I wouldn't know how the story went further without the additional context you so helpfully give. Greetings from Serbia.
