A king beheaded. A monarchy abolished. And a commoner leading a republic by military rule set in their place. The wars that tore through the country in the mid-seventeenth century splitting government, communities and families alike were a true watershed in English history. But how, with Queen Elizabeth I's Golden Age still in living memory, did such a situation arise?Exploring the period's political disputes, religious conflicts and military battles, Patrick Little scrutinizes the nature and practicalities of conducting a civil war on English soil, as well as the experiences and motivations of key factions and combatants. By assessing how the realities of life in England shaped the conflict and were torn apart by it this wonderfully readable Beginner's Guide gets to the very heart of how a people came to kill their king.
