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. 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. The Civil War ended with the Parliamentary victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651.
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. 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. 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.

England managed to stay out of the 30 years war, the severe religious war on the European continent. It killed a higher percentage of people than any other war. The English Civil War occurred about 20 years after that. The French also stayed out the 30 years war, but started killing Hugenaunts about that same time as the English Civil War. It was a time when killing in the name of religion seemed like a good idea to the people of Europe, and no nation was spared from the holocaust.

Conflict between Charles the 1st and the Parliamentarians.
Began because of disputes over their respective prerogatives.
Parliament gained decisive victories at Marston Moor in 1644, and at Naseby in 1645. Charles was executed in 1649. That's all I can remember. Oh' and Oliver Cromwell was the head of the Parliamentarians.

A law passed for York Town square during the war, meaning a welshman can legally be shot with a bow + arrow if he crosses the square after midday. Is still in effect!!!
Although using in a court of law as defence may be tricky!
but technically the law still stands.
