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. This was because of the Royalists’ widespread privateering operations, aided in large part by the King’s capture of key ports in 1643, such as Dartmouth and Bristol. The Navy was able to block many, but not all, of the King’s arms shipments from abroad, thus permitting Charles to supply his armies in England. Close attention is paid to the Royalist shipping which landed reinforcements from Ireland in 1643-44. The King’s defeat in the First Civil War is then discussed, with the New Model Army, and greater resources, cited as the key factors behind Parliament’s victory, with recognition that the Navy provided essential support. Finally, the revolt of the fleet in 1648 is examined. It is concluded that the increasing radicalism of Parliament alienated a substantial section of the Navy, but that the Royalists failed to capitalise on their new- found maritime strength. 3 CONTENTS Abstract 2 Abbreviations 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1: The King’s Loss of the Fleet 38 Chapter 2: The Struggle for Ports 56 Chapter 3: The Royalist Fightback 77 Chapter 4: Parliament Begins to Assert its Ascendancy 116 Chapter 5: The Parliamentarian Navy 138 Chapter 6: Royalist Sea Power 162 Chapter 7: The King Defeated 185 Chapter 8: The Naval Revolt of 1648 199 Conclusion 220 Bibliography 230 4 ABBREVIATIONS Bodleian Library: Bodl.

I owe particular thanks to my supervisor, Professor Jeremy Black, for commenting upon numerous drafts of work and for offering his unstinting support and encouragement. I owe similar gratitude to Professor Nicholas Rodger for his supervision during the first year of my studies, during which time he very generously allowed me access to the many rare books of his private library, whilst offering me invaluable advice on the idiosyncrasies of archives. I must also thank Dr. Michael Duffy for the loan of numerous books and articles. So too, I extend my thanks to Dr. Jonathan Barry and Dr. Sarah Hamilton for their comments on various iterations of this work. Dr. Helen Doe was very helpful in pointing me towards primary and secondary source material, in particular a forthcoming article on Cornwall by Professor Mark Stoyle. I thank him for permission to see a draft in advance of publication. Dr. Maria Fusaro provided me with very welcome advice when I first came to Exeter. Dr. James Mark offered useful insights into higher education and was very accommodating when compiling my teaching timetable, something for which I extend my sincere thanks. The staff of the various archives and libraries, where the bulk of my research was conducted, merit special thanks for their efforts in helping me find important and relevant material. Viscount De L’Isle gave me permission to consult the Sydney papers at the Centre for Kentish Studies and I owe him particular gratitude for his generosity. I would never have been able to undertake this thesis without the Centre for Maritime Historical Studies scholarship. I am very grateful to the University of Exeter for providing me with the opportunity. I owe an immense debt to my parents and my sister for their support throughout my studies. In particular, they have been very tolerant in the face of a house which is now overflowing with books and journals. I am very fortunate to be with a very understanding girlfriend. Kate has been with me since our degrees at Lancaster and deserves special praise for hearing rather more about the English Civil War than is perhaps healthy. Finally, I would like to dedicate this thesis to two members of my family who I miss deeply: to my Grandma, Evelyn Lea, and to my Uncle Terence, in memoriam . 6 THE NAVY IN THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR: INTRODUCTION In 1642 the escalating quarrels between Charles I and his Parliament erupted into a full-scale conflagration, the King’s raising of the royal standard at Nottingham on 22 August merely formalising what had already begun: the English Civil War. One of the key factors behind Charles’ eventual loss in the conflict was his failure to command the allegiance of the Navy at the outbreak of hostilities. Having devoted considerable efforts to raising an impressive fleet during his Personal Rule of the 1630s, Charles was dismayed when the service pledged its support to Parliament in 1642. The King had been confident of the sailors’ loyalty before the moment of reckoning, but was left outraged when the naval leadership defied his commands. Outmanoeuvred politically, Charles lost the chance to control the seas when a bungled attempt to dismiss Robert Rich, 2 nd Earl of Warwick, Parliament’s choice to command the fleet, forced a struggle for mastery which his own nominee, the aged Sir John Pennington, was unable to win. Thereafter, the King was at a considerable disadvantage: what ships remained loyal to him were few in number and presented little threat to the now Parliamentarian Navy. Clarendon’s famous remark on Charles’ failure to hold the fleet remains the starting point for any historical study of the topic: ‘this loss of the whole navy was of unspeakable ill consequence to the king’s affairs’.1 Contemporary documents testify to the Navy’s important contribution to the Civil War. Frequent references to shipping appear in the journals of Parliament, in State Papers, and in a plethora of other primary material. Surprisingly, though, many of the general works on the period pay scant attention to the Navy, but this study sets out to examine the importance of power at sea to the course of the war. The only significant published study of the subject is Robert Powell’s The Navy in the English Civil War, written in 1962. 2 With numerous alterations in historiography since then, a fresh look at the topic is worth undertaking. This thesis provides a link between two important works of maritime history: Andrew Thrush’s study of the Navy during the Personal Rule of Charles I and Bernard Capp’s extensive survey of the fleet during the Interregnum.3 Thrush’s investigation traced in detail the expansion of the Caroline fleet during the 1630s and concluded on the eve of the Civil War. This piece of work, then, assesses the next period of English 1 E.

It considers how Parliament attempted, not always with success, to respond to some of the problems which Thrush detected in Charles’ Navy, such as recruitment and finance. The study concludes at the end of 1648, with the King defeated in war for a second time and with England poised to become a republic. The fleet of the Interregnum (1649-1660) continued to battle the House of Stuart, but, whereas the events of the 1640s centred on a largely domestic war in which Parliament was ultimately victorious, in the 1650s the fleet undertook operations much further afield. War against foreign powers, in fact, took on more importance for the fleet than the threat from the Stuarts. The Navy grew in size significantly and was essential to the security of the republican regimes which governed England after the abolition of the monarchy.

  • The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688
    The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688 by Samantha Middleton The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the University of Portsmouth September 2020 Abstract This thesis analyses the developments made between 1660 and 1688 that contributed towards the Royal Navy becoming a more professionalised organisation. It outlines the impact of individuals and their methods towards achieving professionalisation. The political and financial problems facing the navy before the restoration of the monarchy are also addressed. Biographical case studies of three influential naval reformers; James Stewart, The Duke of York; William Coventry; and Samuel Pepys are used to demonstrate the significant influence that they had on the process of professionalization. This thesis ascertains that although the terminology had not been invented at this stage, the principles of Management Control were implemented by Pepys, Coventry and the Duke of York as a method of organizational professionalisation, identifying examples of performance measurement, rewards systems and the implantation of standard operating procedures. An in-depth analysis of the Duke of York’s instructions for the duties of the Principal Officers demonstrates that the Duke of York introduced enhanced accounting procedures and additional control mechanisms to reduce abuses and increase administrative efficiency. Additionally, a set of professional responsibilities has been created within this thesis for Coventry, whose role as secretary is absent from the instructions. This shows for the first time, that Coventry identified his professional remit as focusing primarily on retrenchment and the reduction of abuses. This contributed towards wider professionalisation.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • Six Unpublished Letters of Queen Henrietta Maria
    SIX UNPUBLISHED LETTERS OF dUEEN HENRIETTA MARIA R. A. BEDDARD IN the morass of papers left by that diligent servant of the House of Stuart, Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State to Charles I and Charles II, is a small cache of six letters written by, or at the command of, Queen Henrietta Maria.^ Five of them are addressed to Nicholas in his official capacity as Secretary.^ Three of them are informal, being little more than hastily penned notes in the Queen's own hand. These are undated by her, but two of them have been endorsed by Nicholas with the date on which he received them: 5 September and i October 1641. His endorsement locates them in the difficult period of Charles Ts residence in Edinburgh, when his master was seeking to build a party among the Scottish nobles. The third most probably belongs to the same year. All three show that the King was during his absence from England regularly employing his wife in the routine business of despatching, and, on occasion, restraining the time of delivery of his correspondence.^ The other two letters addressed to Secretary Nicholas are of greater historical moment. Not only are they more ample in content, they are also more formal in nature. They belong to a much later period in the Queen's life, when she had taken up residence in her native France following her successful flight from Exeter in July 1644.^ The two communications are cast in the form of royal warrants, drafted by the clerk attending the Queen at the palace of St Germain-en-Laye, outside Paris, where for a time she occupied grace and favour lodgings given to her by her sister-in-law, Anne of Austria, Queen Regent of France and the widow of Louis XIII.^ As such, they are signed by Henrietta Maria at the beginning in the customary fashion, and are dated coram regina 9 and 22 June 1648 respectively, according to the New Style of the Gregorian calendar in use in Catholic France: that is, 30 May and 12 June, according to the Old Style of the Julian computation still in use in Protestant England.

This is a report from a committee of MPs to Parliament. It explains their actions against the leaders of the Levellers. One of the men they arrested was John Lilburne, a key figure in the Leveller movement. What’s the background to this source? Before the war of the 1640s it was difficult and dangerous to come up with new ideas and try to publish them. However, during the Civil War censorship was not strongly enforced. Many political groups emerged with new ideas at this time. One of the most radical (extreme) groups was the Levellers.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.
