The British Civil Wars C.1639-1652 (HIST3023) (V13136) | University of Nottingham 09/23/21 The British Civil Wars c.1639-1652 (HIST3023) (V13136) | University of Nottingham The British Civil Wars c.1639-1652 View Online (HIST3023) (V13136) 685 items The main book I recommend for this Special Subject module is: (1 items) The English Revolution and the wars in the three kingdoms, 1638-1652 - I. J. Gentles, c2007 Book | If you are going to buy a book, this is the one! The best overview of early modern Britain is: (1 items) Early modern Britain, 1450-1750 - John Miller, 2017 Book The best general introduction to early modern historiography is: (1 items) Writing early modern history - Garthine Walker, c2005 Book Sessions 1 & 2: Introduction (18 items) Among the best general overviews of the early modern period are: (5 items) English society, 1580-1680 - Keith Wrightson, c2003 Book | This was for many years my recommended standard introduction to the period (at least, as regards England). There are numerous earlier editions, all fine. The making of the British Isles: the state of Britain and Ireland, 1450-1660 - Steven G. Ellis, Christopher Maginn, c2007 Book A monarchy transformed: Britain 1603-1714 - Mark A. Kishlansky, 1997 Book The Stuart age: England, 1603-1714 - Barry Coward Book | Earlier editions are ok. England in conflict, 1603-1660: kingdom, community, commonwealth - Derek Hirst, 1999 Book | This is an updated version of Hirst's Authority and Conflict (London, 1986). 1/56 09/23/21 The British Civil Wars c.1639-1652 (HIST3023) (V13136) | University of Nottingham Other good overviews of the Civil Wars are: (5 items) The civil wars in Britain and Ireland, 1638-1651 - Martyn Bennett, 1997 Book Rebellion or revolution?: England, 1640-1660 - G. E. Aylmer, 1986 Book History of the great civil war, 1642-1649 - Samuel Rawson Gardiner, 1894-1897 Book | Despite its age, this is still a good detailed narrative. The Civil Wars of England - J. P. Kenyon, 1996 Book | This is a short, but accurate (and affordable), introduction. Earlier editions are available. The English Revolution, c.1590-1720: politics, religion and communities - Nicholas Tyacke, 2007 Book | It's also worth having a look at the various essays in this book. Two recent and decent (but very large and detailed) works on the conflict are: (2 items) The noble revolt: the overthrow of Charles I - J. S. A. Adamson, c2007 Book | Adamson has modified his views over the years as regards the conflict being yet another baronial war, but this work shows that he is still preoccupied with the nobility and higher gentry. God's fury, England's fire: a new history of the English Civil Wars - M. J. Braddick, c2008 Book | I can't personally see anything 'new' in the book, but Mike Braddick is an excellent historian, and always worth reading. For general military histories of the conflict, see: (4 items) The civil wars: a military history of England, Scotland, and Ireland 1638-1660 - J. P. Kenyon, Jane H. Ohlmeyer, J. S. Morrill, 1998 Book A military history of the English Civil War, 1642-1646: strategy and tactics - Malcolm Wanklyn, Frank Jones, ebrary, 2014 Book War in England, 1642-1649 - Barbara Donagan, c2008 Book | Not a light read, but a superb piece of scholarship. The English Civil War: a military history of the three civil wars, 1642-1651 - Peter Young, Richard Holmes, 1974 Book | This is reasonably ok, although now rather dated in terms of sources, historiography and approach. 2/56 09/23/21 The British Civil Wars c.1639-1652 (HIST3023) (V13136) | University of Nottingham For useful collections of sources see: (2 items) The English Civil War and revolution: a sourcebook - Keith Lindley, 1998 Book The Constitutional documents of the Puritan revolution 1625-1660 - Samuel Rawson Gardiner, 1906 Book | This may be old, but you'll still find it very handy! Sessions 3 & 4: The Context and Causes of the Civil Wars (73 items) Causes (2 items) The causes of the English Civil War - Ann Hughes, 1998 Book | This is the best short introduction. The causes of the English Civil War: the Ford lectures delivered in the University of Oxford, 1987-1988 - Conrad Russell, 1990 Book | This should not be attempted without a firm grasp of events.

  • Year 8 History Homework
    History at Turton We study History to know where we come from, create our identity and share the collective memory that defines us. No (wo) man is an island and everyone is shaped by the world around them. History is over 2000 years of mistakes and progress, lessons learned and forgotten. Through the acquisition of historical knowledge we gain emancipation, and thus endeavour to avoid repeating mistakes, so the world can flourish. Name: Form: Teacher: In this booklet you will find all of your homework for Year 8 History. 1 Week 1 Due date: The Battle of Bosworth The Battle of Bosworth was fought on August 22nd 1485. Henry Tudor had marched with his force from Milford Haven in Wales where he had landed with about 2000 men. The Battle of Bosworth is one of England’s defining battles as it ended the reign of Richard III and led to Henry Tudor becoming Henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs, a dynasty that lasted to 1603 and included the reign of two of England’s most famous monarchs – Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. To launch his campaign against Richard III, Henry needed money. This he got from Charles VIII of France who hoped that a conflict in England would suitably distract any attention away from his wish to take Brittany. Henry sailed from Harfleur on August 1st with a force of between 400 and 500 loyal followers and about 1500 French soldiers. The force landed at Milford Haven on August 7th and marched north along the Cardigan coastline before turning inland towards the Cambrian Mountains and then the River Severn which he followed to the English border.

  • 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.

In reality, it is the juxtaposition between both doctrines of sovereignty that the following pages revolve around, which also address the link between Parliament and Judges or, expressed in a different manner,

  • Whittaker-Annotated Atlbib July 31 2014
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version of August 2, 2014 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. I try in particular to note problems in some of the studies that are often cited by others with less atlatl knowledge, and correct some of the misinformation. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation, but at heart I am an old-fashioned paper-lover.
