The royalist soldiers, loyal to King Charles I, were primarily motivated by a desire to uphold the monarchy and traditional authority, often comprising nobility and landowners. In contrast, the parliamentarian soldiers fought for the rights of Parliament and sought to limit the power of the monarchy, attracting a diverse range of supporters including merchants and commoners. This ideological divide influenced their strategies, allegiances, and the social composition of their forces during the English Civil War.

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 won the battle of noseby?

Do you mean the Battle of Naseby on the 14th of June, 1645? Here's a quote"The Parliamentarians broke their siege on Oxford and forced the Royalists into battle. Initially the Royalists took up a defensive stance but later the order to attack was given. The battle lasted just three hours and saw the death of most of the Royalist foot soldiers. It was a decisive victory for Parliament. Charles fled the battlefield as soon as it was apparent that he had lost both the battle and the war."


Why was Fort Royal important to the parliamentarians in The battle of Worcester?

Fort Royal was outside the old City Walls of Worcester in 1651. It is to the South of the Sidbury Gate. That Worcester was walled was of little consequence to Cromwell as it was overlooked by high ground to the south and east, including from Fort Royal. The Royalists had been fortifying this high ground outside the City Walls in the days prior to the battle, but their bastion was incomplete when the battle came. Nevertheless it was a Royalist stronghold guarding the city (and the King) from the Parliamentarians as they advanced either side of the River Severn from the south. It was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting but when the parliamentarians withdrew and the Royalists counter attacked, leaving Fort Royal, they became overstretched and were overwhelmed by the Parliamentarians - so Fort Royal fell to Cromwell. Once taken, the captured Royalist canon on Fort Royal was turned on the City and the remaining Royalists soldiers as they ran in full retreat back into the City through the Sidbury gate. The Sidbury Gate was a narrow chokepoint and the retreating mass of Royalists trying to get through it were massacred - many hundreds died there. Despite the massive odds in favour of Cromwell, some historians have speculated that had the Royalists held Fort Royal and had not pursued the Parliamentarian feint (withdrawal) and they had been joined by General Leslie's Cavalry from Pitchcroft at the precise moment of the feint, then the outcome of the battle could have been different... So, Fort Royal was the pivotal site of the battle. Once taken by Cromwell, and as high ground overlooking the city, a Parliamentarian vicory was assured.
