All you want to know quickly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War

1. The English Civil War consisted of a series of armed conflicts and political machinations that took place between Parliamentarians (known as Roundheads) and Royalists (known as Cavaliers) between 1642 and 1651. 2. The first (1642 - 1645) and second (1648 - 1649) civil wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third war (1649 - 1651) saw fighting between supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. 3. The Civil War ended with the Parliamentary victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651.
4. The Civil War 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), the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell. 5. The monopoly of the Church of England on Christian worship in England came to an end, and the victors consolidated the already-established Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. 6. Constitutionally, the wars established a precedent that British monarchs could not govern without the consent of Parliament, although this would not be cemented until the Glorious Revolution later in the century. 7. One of the first events to cause concern about Charles I came with his marriage to a French Roman Catholic princess, Henriette-Marie de Bourbon. 8. The marriage occurred in 1625, right after Charles came to the throne. 9. Charles's marriage raised the possibility that his children, including the heir to the throne, could grow up as Catholics, a frightening thing to Protestant England.
10. Charles also wanted to take part in the conflicts underway in Europe, then immersed in the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648). 11. As ever, foreign wars required heavy expenditure, and the Crown could raise the necessary taxes only with Parliamentary consent (as described above). 12. Charles experienced even more financial difficulty when his first Parliament refused to follow the tradition of giving him the right to collect customs duties for his entire reign, deciding instead to grant it for only a year at a time.

1. The "English Civil War" was in fact several seperate conflicts lasting from 1638 to aproximately 1655. It is more correctly known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.

2.The first two conflicts are the Two "Bishops" Wars. They were disputes about episcopalian power, the power of the Bishops over the church, which was contested by the Covenanters in Scotland.

3 Civil War broke out after King Charles raised his Standard in Nottingham on a wet August day in 1642.

4 The first battle was Edge Hill at the end of October 1642. This proved inconclusive.

5 The KIng lost his best chance to retake London about two weeks after Edge Hill when he failed to engage Parliamentary forces and their supporters at Turnham Green, (West London), after pillaging Brentford two days before.

6.. Samuel Pepys witnessed the Kings execution in January 1649.

7. The Scots, who had precipitated this conflict because of the Kings intransigence proclaimed Charles the Second King of Scotland in 1649/50, a full ten years before the Monarchy was restored in 1660.

8. Cromwell disagreed several times with Parliament before announcing he was to be "Lord" Protector and ruling with the aid of the Major Generals as District Govenors.

9. The Earl of Strafford, the Kings appointed "Govenor" of Ireland holds the distinction of being the only man in recent history to unite all the different factions in Ireland. THEY ALL HATED HIM. He was executed in aproximately1641.

10. General Monk, a Parliamentary military commander, was responsible for the Naval Squadron that brought King Charles II back from Europe in 1660, and Samuel Pepys was with him.

Answer 4

The English won

Answer 5

Charles I was beheaded on 31st January 1648 old calender or 1649 modern calender.

Oliver Cromwell was a murdering megalomaniac bastard.

John Milton signed Charles's death warrant.

Oliver Cromwell proclaimed himself Lord Protector.

This was not a popular move.

When Cromwell died his son took over, but was a bit rubbish so got chucked out and Charles II took back control of the country.

There's a few for you. Just been doing that era of history.
