The English Civil War was a truly profound political event in seventeenth century Europe. During this period, the Stuart kingdoms of Scotland, England and Ireland, and the Principality of Wales were ripped apart by religious and political unrest. But the conflict of the 1640s wasn't a purely British phenomenon, it was part of a wider struggle for supremacy between Catholics and Protestants in Europe.
This Civil War website offers detailed analysis of the personalities, events and battles of the Civil War era. It also considers the century of 'tremors' which precipitated the upheaval, and explores the 'aftershocks' which continue to affect British and Irish politics to the present day.
You can start your journey through the video overviews, via the interactive timeline or through the crucial events at the start of the Civil War.
