On 23rd September 1642 Prince Ruperts cavalry triumphed outside Worcester in the first major clash of the English Civil War. Almost precisely nine years later, on 3rd September 1651, that war was won by Oliver Cromwells famous Ironsides outside the same city and in part upon the same ground. In All the Kings Armies, Stuart Reid provides a detailed yet readable new military history, the first to be published for over twenty years, of the three conflicts between 1642 and 1651 known as the English Civil War. Prince Rupert, Oliver Cromwell, Patrick Ruthven, Alexander Leslie and Sir Thomas Fairfax all play their parts in this fast moving narrative. At the heart of the book are fresh interpretations, not only of the key battles such as Marston Moor in 1644, but also of the technical and economic factors which helped shape strategy and tactics, making this a truly comprehensive study of one of the most famous conflicts in British history.All the Kings Armies - A Military History of the English Civil War 1642-1651 by Stuart Reid.Click For DetailsBK0282

A deeply religious man, Charles I believed unquestionably in the Divine Right of Kings, that he was answerable to God and God alone. This view was deemed archaic and an attempt by the King to gain absolute power in England. His attempts to placate Parliament would throw England into civil war. The final years of the reign of Charles I saw England in a state of religious and political upheaval, arguably a direct result of his duplicity and procrastinating.

The story of the battles for the strategically vital town in Nottinghamshire is a classic example of how a siege was conducted during the long and bitter fighting of the English Civil War. The town was the gateway to the north of England and was the site of three separate sieges, as the armies of the King and of Parliament fought for control. In February 1643 the Royalists beat back the determined Parliamentarian attacks but the town then had to be relieved by the dashing Prince Rupert a year later. Finally, in May 1646, Newark surrendered to Parliamentary forces on the explicit orders of King Charles I, who in doing so sealed his own fate and condemned himself to the block.

The techniques of European warfare were transformed during the 15th and 16th centuries by the use of gunpowder and by substantial progress in the effectiveness and destructive power of artillery. The series of conflict in the 1640s, known collectively as the English Civil War, was the first in the British Isles that reflected this new reality. Sieges aimed at isolating and reducing fortified places became the dominant instrument for prosecuting the war and protective fortifications were vital, for the besieger as well as the besieged. This title describes how both the Parliamentarians and the Royalists made use of new fortification techniques throughout the course of this conflict.

The New Model Army was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians during English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from the other armies in the Civil war in that it was intended as an army where its soldeirs were liable for service anywhere in the country, instead of restricted to a local area or garrison. This meant that the soldiers of the new Model Army would be full time professional soldiers instead of part time militia. It was also intended that its officers were to be professional soldiers, not having seats in either the Houses of Lords or Commons. Here a Cavalry sentry is shown before the battle of Naseby, which would become a key battle of the English Civil War. On 14th June 1645, the main army of King Charles I was completely destroyed by the Parliamentarian New Model Army under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell.
