English Civil War?

the English civil war all started by Charles I ( Charles Stuart )The English Civil War was a war between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians that lasted from 1642 to 1649. The result was a Parliamentarian victory.


Causes of the English Civil War?

There were many different causes of the English Civil war in 1642, here are just a few... - Charles was hungry for power - Charles believed in the Divine Right of Kings - Whilst Charles's father was reining over England, he observed the broken relationship between the King and Parliament. He then grew up to have the same relationship with Parliament - Charles was naturally arrogant - Charles was in need of money but was very reluctant to bring back Parliament so he resorted to collected illegal 'Ship' tax without permission - Charles married Henrietta Maria of France who was catholic - Drastic changes were being made to the churches Hope this helped!


Why did the Royalists and parliamentarians fought in the civil war?

They were unhappy at how Charles the 1st was running the country so they planned a revolt. Charles expected this and took 400 soldiers into the commons which is why the members now slam the door in the black rods face and then check to see who's there (it's a stupid tradition). Parliament and Charles then declared war on each other. I wouldn't say Parliament were to blame for civil war, it was more Charles because he was a crap king


Who did Parliament get support from in the English Civil War?

Parliament wanted increasing amounts of additional power, ranging from the education of Charles's siblings to Charles having to ask permission before making any official decisions. Try http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/glossary/parliament-1625-29.htmfor a more detailed explanation.
