 WHAT
- The period of the Revolution was important in the development of ideas about
liberty as the temporary collapse of censorship in the early 1640s.

-Parliament was free to debate important matters like the rule of law, strict limits on
the power of the king, the liberty of the press, and religious freedom.

-Although the Revolution produced a military dictator and ultimately led to the
restoration of the Stuart monarchy, it did create the foundation for a new kind of
monarchy which was quite different from the “absolute” monarchies which dominated
the rest of Europe.

-Particularly after 1688, the monarchy which emerged in Britain was one limited by a
constitution. It also created a body of ideas which were to be very influential in the
development of Anglo-American political and constitutional thought in the 18th
century.
 WHO
Charles 1 (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was monarch of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland,
and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649.

(he was one of the starters)

 WHEN
The English Revolution (also called the English Civil War) was a period of armed conflict and
political turmoil between 1642 and 1660
 WHY
-The English Civil Wars (1642-1651) stemmed from conflict between Charles I and
Parliament The first war was settled with Oliver Cromwell’s victory for Parliamentary
forces at the 1645 Battle of Naseby. The second phase ended with Charles’ defeat at
the Battle of Preston and his subsequent execution in 1649.

- Charles’ son, Charles, then formed an army of English and Scottish Royalists, which
prompted Cromwell to invade Scotland in 1650. The following year, Cromwell shattered
the remaining Royalist forces and ended the “wars of the three kingdoms,” though
Charles II eventually ascended to the throne in 1660.
