in the early months of 1604 any ideas that the parliament and charles I could compromise went down the drain. charles had previously shut parliament all together because he thought he could rule alone. the two sides formed armies and they stumbled upon each other near edge hill. the royalists forced battle on the parliamentarians and so the battle commenced.
