One of the myths of the English Civil War was that neither side knew how to fight well at its start. However, in addition to the large numbers of Scottish and Irish veterans from the Thirty Years War who took part, there were the “trained bands” of militia that the king had required to train. While they weren’t hardened veterans, they weren’t totally raw recruits either, and they adapted to warfare fairly quickly.
Prince Rupert of the Rhine, Charles’ nephew & the Cavaliers’ most brilliant cavalry commander. As the son of James I’s daughter Elizabeth and the ill-fated Frederick of the Palatinate whose bid for the throne of Bohemia had started the Thirty Years War, he had spent much of his life in a Hapsburg prison where he studied cavalry tactics. He was only 22 when he assumed command of his uncle’s cavalry.
Boy’s mother being courted by an English bulldog. However, since he was a Puritan bulldog, his efforts were unsuccessful.
Despite his prissy little dog, Prince Rupert was one of the best cavalry leaders of the war, forging the inexperienced cavaliers into an excellent fighting force that fought in three ranks and charged as shock cavalry in the manner the Swedes had learned from Polish hussars in Eastern Europe.

The battle of Edgehill (1642) was the first major battle of the English Civil War. Although the king’s cavalry won the day, both sides were so exhausted and disorganized that neither was able to take advantage of the situation.

As the English Civil War turned into a series of localized conflicts, skirmishes like this and sieges of manor houses became the most common type of fighting.
Storming of Basing House & the ensuing massacre of Catholics by Cromwell (10/14/1645), a prelude to his later massacres of Irish Catholics. With their men gone to war, women often took the leading role in defending their homes against attacks like this.

John Lilburne, leader of the Levelers who stood for religious freedom of conscience and independent local churches. Some of them, mixing politics and social theory with religion, also stood for equality for all men, and a few advocated equal rights for women.
Another group of religious independents was the Quakers, who believed in pacifism and, as this picture of a Quaker woman preaching indicates, more equality for women.

Civil War between:
"You wrong even the poorest plowman.” -- Charles I at his trial
Charles’ use of Divine Right of Kings as his primary defense proved of no avail.
“We shall cut off the king’s head and the crown with it.”--Oliver CromwellCharles I’s death warrant calling for his beheading. Cromwell, who was supposedly the third to sign, did a bit of arm twisting to pressure other members of Parliament to sign as well. Still only 59 of 135 Members of Parliament signed Charles’ death warrant, maybe because the other 75 members had been purged.
“I am a martyr of the people.”--Charles I at his execution.
Charles I’s execution (1/30/1649) was much less popular than Cromwell & the radical Puritans had anticipated. At the same time, another anti-royalist revolt, the Fronde, was raging in France, although ultimately with very different results from its English counterpart

The Normans invaded Ireland in 1169, gradually extending their control over the following centuries. For most of the Middle Ages Ireland was ruled as a separate kingdom under the British Crown.
In the 1500s, the English started to regain control of parts of Ireland. In 1603 the defeat of the Irish in Ulster gave Britain complete control of Ireland.

Anglo-Irish Protestants prepare defenses for Drogheda (1641) vs. Irish rebels as they wait for help from England. The English Civil Wars delayed English efforts to respond to the uprising.
However, in 1649, Cromwell landed in Ireland to quell the revolt. The bombardment and storming of Drogheda by Cromwell’s forces was one of the most notorious of his acts.

When Cromwell had to leave Ireland to take care of Scotland, his policy of massacres was abandoned.
However, another policy that would prove in the long run more destructive to the Irish people was now implemented: land confiscations.
Cromwell’s confiscations were the result of the lack of cash to pay his troops at the end of the war. Therefore, he confiscated land and gave it to his troops in lieu of money. Any Irish unable to prove loyalty to the Commonwealth had their property confiscated. Dispossessed landowners were given poor quality land in Connaught in exchange, thus the expression “To Hell or Connaught.”
To ensure continuing control over the troublesome province of Ulster, the land was confiscated and given to small Scottish farmers.

Magistrates could even take Irish children & ship them to England for a proper Protestant education.
The long-term results for Ireland were also devastating. In the 1840s, the Potato famine hit Ireland. Although English landlords, who controlled the best 2/3 of land in Ireland, had extra food, they exported it to England while maybe a million Irish starved to death.

Have you ever walked the lonesome hillsAnd heard the curfews cryOr seen the raven black as nightUpon a windswept skyTo walk the purple heatherAnd hear the westwind cryTo know that’s where the rapparee must die
Since Cromwell pushed us westwardTo live our lowly livesThere’s some of us have deemed to fightFrom Tipperary mountains highNoblemen with wills of ironWho are not afraid to dieWho’ll fight with gaelic honour held on high
A curse upon you Oliver CromwellYou who raped our MotherlandI hope you’re rotting down in hellFor the horrors that you sentTo our misfortunate forefathersWhom you robbed of their birthright“To hell or Connaught” may you burn in hell tonight
Of one such man I’d like to speakA rapparee by name and deedHis family dispossessed and slaughteredThey put a price upon his headHis name is known in song and storyHis deeds are legend stillAnd murdered for blood moneyWas young Ned of the hill
You have robbed us of our homes and fortunesEven drove us from our landYou tried to break our spiritBut you’ll never understandThe love of dear old IrelandThat will forge an iron willAs long as there are gallant menLike young Ned of the hill

In 1651, Cromwell passed the Navigation Act, which said imports to England had to come either on English ships or ships from the countries where the goods were made. This was an obvious blow against the Dutch who profited greatly from the carrying trade (much like Fed Ex). The result was the First Anglo-Dutch War. Since the Dutch up to liberation in 1648 had concentrated on trade and defeating the Spanish Army, they didn’t have as powerful navy as Britain’s, and did poorly in this war. However, in the next two Anglo-Dutch wars they would more than hold their own by building large warships and adopting the English tactic of fighting in one long line to make best use of the broadsides from their cannons.
In 1653, the two countries’ fleets of 120 ships each met in a bloody and indecisive battle at Scheveningen. Although a tactical draw, it did break the British blockade of Holland and led to peace. From Cromwell’s point of view, this ensured that Johan de Witte’s party remained in power to prevent the young William III of Orange, Charles II’s nephew, from taking over and trying to restore his uncle to the throne of England. Ironically, it would be William who would over throw the Stuart monarchy and seize the throne in 1688 in the Glorious Revolution.
