Each county and borough returned two members to the setting up of a court to try the king. Charles I was executed in parliament, and in Gloucestershire. as in some other counties, one 1649, though Stephens was not a member of the court. The story was a royalist. and the other a parliamentarian. The parliamentarian continues that, soon after the execution, Stephens died, and his was Nathaniel Stephens, who had houses at Eastington and shade departed in a carriage driven by a headless man in royal Chavenage. At the first election of 1640 he was suddenly set up livery.

    1 the NAVY in the ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James

    1 THE NAVY IN THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James Lea-O’Mahoney, to the University of Exeter, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned chiefly with the military role of sea power during the English Civil War. Parliament’s seizure of the Royal Navy in 1642 is examined in detail, with a discussion of the factors which led to the King’s loss of the fleet and the consequences thereafter. It is concluded that Charles I was outmanoeuvred politically, whilst Parliament’s choice to command the fleet, the Earl of Warwick, far surpassed him in popularity with the common seamen. The thesis then considers the advantages which control of the Navy provided for Parliament throughout the war, determining that the fleet’s protection of London, its ability to supply besieged outposts and its logistical support to Parliamentarian land forces was instrumental in preventing a Royalist victory. Furthermore, it is concluded that Warwick’s astute leadership went some way towards offsetting Parliament’s sporadic neglect of the Navy. The thesis demonstrates, however, that Parliament failed to establish the unchallenged command of the seas around the British Isles.

    Cambridge University Press 0521851874 - Machiavelli’s Liberal Republican Legacy Edited by Paul A. Rahe Excerpt More information part i THE ENGLISH COMMONWEALTHMEN or more than a century subsequent to his death in 1527, Niccolo` Machiavelli F was known to the larger world as a counselor of princes, as an enemy to morality and the Christian religion, and as an inspiration to the advocates of raison d’etat´ . It was not until after the execution of Charles I in January 1649 that he would become almost equally famous also as an advocate for republican rule. There is no great mystery in this. Machiavelli’s Prince is, at least on the surface, a much more accessible book than his Discourses on Livy. It is shorter, pithier, and more vigorous, and it enjoyed a grand succes` de scandale from the very first. In contrast, the Discourses on Livy is long, subtle, complex, and difficult to decipher. In short, the work in which republicanism looms large is as unattractive to the casual reader as The Prince is alluring. Even now, the longer book is much more rarely read. Of course, from the outset, there were those who argued that Machiavelli revealed his true opinions only in his Discourses on Livy. Within six years of the appearance of the Florentine’s two great masterpieces in printed form, an inquisitive and well-connected English visitor to Florence named Reginald Pole was told by one or more of Machiavelli’s compatriots that the author of the Discourses on Livy had written The Prince solely in order to trip up the Medici and bring about their demise.

It investigates the question of what happened to nationwide prayer days, which were ordered on royal authority, when Charles’s authority was challenged in the 1640s and two rival authorities began to order occasions. It then analyses their continuities and changes through the 1650s and re- emergence in the traditional model at the Restoration.

    'New Modelised and Cromwellysed': the Commonwealth and The

    Alex Craven, The Commonwealth & Lancashire 1 The Commonwealth of England and the Governors of Lancashire: ‘New Modelised and Cromwellysed’ The political fall-out following the execution of Charles I cannot be overestimated. The political nation, already starkly polarised by the events of the previous decade, was rent asunder. The purge of the House of Commons that preceded the regicide forcibly excluded a large number of MPs, whilst many more chose to stay away from Westminster following the revolutionary events of January 1649. A parallel process occurred in the provinces, as men were removed from the county committees and the commission of the peace. The upheaval was so profound that one Lancashire man declared in 1649 that the law had been „New Modelised and Cromwellysed‟. The contempt he later showed to magistrates and constables at the quarter sessions demonstrates that it was the dramatic changes to the government of the country as much as any changes to the law that had left him bewildered.[1] The following paper will examine the impact of the creation of the Commonwealth on the government of Lancashire, beginning with the county‟s MPs following Pride‟s Purge. It will then explore the extent to which Lancashire‟s local government was „New Modelled‟ after 1649; were the county committees and the bench purged following the creation of the republic, or did government continue largely unaffected? To what extent did a revolution at Westminster entail a revolution in the provinces? I On 6 December 1648, tensions that had been building between conservatives and radicals at Westminster finally came to a head when the New Model Army purged the House of Commons.

    Clarendon and Civil War Newspapers

    Chapter 1 A royalist reads the news: Sir Edward Hyde and civil war journalism Jason Peacey I Writing to Charles I on 12 December 1647, Sir Edward Hyde grumbled that the king’s departure for the Isle of Wight, following his escape from Hampton Court, hindered the process of collecting material for what would become the History of the Rebellion, claiming that he was forced to rely upon his ‘ill memory’ and upon a ‘few pamphlets and diurnals’.1 Although noted by historians, the significance of this statement has arguably not been fully appreciated by scholars of Hyde’s great work, who have generally been preoccupied with his purpose, his style, his ideas and his accuracy, rather than with his method, at least since pioneering work by C.H. Firth.2 This is despite the fact that, at least during the first phase of writing (1646–8), Hyde’s correspondence contains numerous comments about his relationship with his sources, whether in terms of archival documents, oral and memorial testimony, written reports by other royalists or printed tracts and 1 Bodl., MS Clarendon, 30, fol. 208. 2 C.H.

I even had a title: ‘Days of Shaking: Rutland families in times of conflict, 1600-1660’ - the quotation coming from a notorious, published sermon preached to the House of Commons in 1643 by Jeremiah Whitaker, formerly Rector of Stretton in Rutland. Although work on the ‘book’ began over ten years ago, other projects intervened, such as the Local Heritage Initiative research and publication, ‘The Heritage of Rutland Water’. For six years I was Secretary of the Rutland Local History and Record Society, and also wrote occasional articles for the Society’s journal, ‘Rutland Record’. The last of these, in Rutland Record 30, uses material taken directly from the first chapter of my proposed book, since having moved away from Rutland to Essex in 2006, I had finally given up hope that it would ever be completed! However, four chapters and an introduction to the aborted ‘Days of Shaking’ do exist in draft form, and paper copies of these exist somewhere in the archives of RLHRS.
