Description

Fascinating facts and debunked myths about Catholic vs. Protestant, King vs. Parliament, England vs. Scotland, Cromwell vs. Ireland, and more.

What was life like during the English Civil War? Did the war really split families apart? Was Charles I just too stupid to be king? Did Cromwell really hate the monarchy and did Parliament actually ban Christmas?

In this witty, straightforward book you'll find fast and clearly written answers to all your questions about this remarkable period of British history in which conflicts raged over who should govern England, Ireland, and Scotlandand exactly how they should go about it. Find out about people's everyday lives, how they thought and behaved, and how the Civil War affected them. Learn about the role of women and whether they merely stayed at home and suffered, and if Cromwell really was always miserable. Bringing to life the tumultuous, unprecedented period of history that is known as the English Civil War, each chapter of this book, from the author of Dark Days of Georgian Britain: Rethinking the Regency, presents a controversy in itself and sets about dispelling commonly held myths, allowing us to more fully understand the time and place where these world-changing events came to pass.
