[MrStarbuck123]

[arsenaljsutliffuk]

@lucifer66633 But the Scottish are British you tit, That what basically defines being British...It all began from the emergence of the Scottish and English Kingdoms.

[ragerancher]

Charles was an arrogant and obnoxious pillock. Cromwell was a ruthless and heartless tyrant. Both were terrible people. Both characters were horrible individuals. Charles fought for the sovereignty of the monarch whilst Cromwell was fighting for a soverign Parliament and the promotion of a meritocracy. Like all advancements in human history, they are founded on the blood and toil of people who were willing to fight for what they believed.

[BassDudeBear]

I swear the only reason I passed my history GCSE was because of mrallsop's podcasts. Mucho <3

[bobslay12]

@JUKIO01

The British Invented Tanks during WW1 and built the largest Ships in the world to fight the american fucks in 1812 and burned your capital to the ground and you probably havent even been to England have you.

@TottenhamRocks17turks failed ottomans compared to the west.

[TurkishNationalism]

the british royal family is of german origin LMAO

retarted english, being proud slaves of their German Masters.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@TurkishNationalism

'Turkish Nationalism'

Interesting username asshole. Fanatical racists like you are what is keeping Turkey back from membership of the EU. Or maybe you would prefer to among oppressive Arab states and go backwards by looking east? If it is not Islamism, then it is Nationalism. Genocide denial still prescides. Turkey is a fucking headache for everyone. It is a shame, because Turkey has a lot of potential if it wasn't for the bullshit for your kind.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Anyway, you need to get your facts right. If you are referring to the Hanoverian dynasty, it was AFTER this. When we became the KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN.

What a dumb asshole you are.

retarded nationalist. Enjoy life. Internationalists ALWAYS have it better than small-brained xenophobic nationalist pricks like you.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Jealousy is not healthy...........

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@TurkishNationalism

The Republic of Turkey deserves better than your kind.

[britandproud109]

@TurkishNationalism hey dipshit are the royal family in charge of us, for us to be slaves we need to be ruled

[cook119]

It should really be called the English revolution, that's what it was.

[gabriel25gatens]

oh my god

akon is so sad

[MrMaddog1994]

stupid stupid stupid

[johnashley61]

The most important fact of this war, was that it marked the end of Ancient Times, and the beginning of Modern times. Perhaps one the most important and prolific events in human history.

The Feudel class were replaced by a rising Capitalist class. This new dominant, ruling class desperatly wanted a 'Business King', but Charles just wouldn't have it. Although most people belived in god in those days, this conflict was primarily about Power, Pounds, Shillings and Pence. A bit like other wars .

[maureenOWW]

@johnashley61 You are right, this is the single most important conflict in world history. It led to the republican revolution of 1689, establishment of the first true constitutional monarchy, the Bill of Rights, the political enlightenment, american and french revolutions, and the establishment of democracy across most of the world. Not to mention the industrial revolution, which has changed the world more than any period in history. This war is where the world changed from medieval to modern.

[johnashley61]

@maureenOWW Thanks Maureen. I'm glad that at least a few people can see in importance of the events in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland during and after the mid 1600's.  "War is the Mother of Revoloution" a quote from Lenin or Trotsky I think. How right they were, and still are even in the light of events today. Many revolutions are hijacked and betrayed by Dictators and opportunists. The Levellers and Bolshevics (sp ?) were crushed by such people. ..I hope we win in the end.

[maureenOWW]

@johnashley61 We've already won - if you live in the western world, I mean. Unfortunately the rest of the world hasn't been so lucky.

[johnashley61]

@maureenOWW I'd replace your use of "won" with 'winning'. When I refer to "we", I mean average Joe public, who despite struggling to gain massive reforms from the wealth created by industrialisation, still lives at the mercy of the big boys and their chaotic market economy. Of course, when comparing with the 'third world', life in the West is 'cushy'. We'll have 'Won' when Joe & Josie public control the means of production and finance. Joe & Josie are about to start paying for the latest mess

[bazza230567]

@maureenOWW agree with you nice comment.

[lileichina96]

how old is this!?

[JustJealouse514]

Cromwell was a pimp

[jsarkar339]

For God and the cause! The Church and the Law!

Charles Stuart, King of England! and

Prince Rupert and the Rhine!

Huzzah!!!

[Hosea22]

Charles's son, Charles II, became King after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. In that same year, Charles I was canonized by the Church of England.

[whikless]

I wouldn't say Charles II was as bad as his father (At ruling) But was still too confident as a king.

[Hosea22]

He instead remained defiant by attempting to forge an alliance with Scotland and escaping to the Isle of Wight. This provoked a Second Civil War (1648 - 49) and a second defeat for Charles, who was subsequently captured, tried, convicted, and executed for high treason. The monarchy was then abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England, also referred to as the Cromwellian Interregnum, was declared.

[Hosea22]

His last years were marked by the English Civil War, in which he was opposed by the forces of the English and Scottish Parliaments, which challenged his attempts to augment his own power, and by Puritans, who were hostile to his religious policies and supposed Catholic sympathies. Charles was defeated in the First Civil War (1642 - 45), after which Parliament expected him to accept demands for a constitutional monarchy.

[ellbo2]

@Hosea22 Nicely done. Short and snappy. You forgot to mention Charles' attempted arrest of Pym, William Stode, Hazelrige, Denzil Holles and Lord Kimbolton on the 3rd of January, this failed (though even if it was successful, little would have changed) and hastened the slide into civil war. I feel that this is important. The signs of encroaching cathlocism were irrational but important.

[Hosea22]

Many of Charles's subjects felt this brought the Church of England too close to Roman Catholicism. Charles's later attempts to force religious reforms upon Scotland led to the Bishops' Wars that weakened England's government and helped precipitate his downfall.

[Hosea22]

Religious conflicts permeated Charles' reign. He married a Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria of France, over the objections of Parliament and public opinion. He further allied himself with controversial religious figures, including the ecclesiastic Richard Montagu and William Laud, whom Charles appointed Archbishop of Canterbury.

[Hosea22]

He was an advocate of the Divine Right of Kings, which was the belief that kings received their power from God. This Divine Right of Kings could not be taken away (unlike the similar Mandate of Heaven), even if he was stripped of his power. Many subjects of England feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power. Many of his actions, particularly the levying of taxes without Parliament's consent, caused widespread opposition.

[Hosea22]

Charles I (19 November 1600 - 30 January 1649), second son of James I, was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution on 30 January 1649. Charles famously engaged in a struggle for power with the Parliament of England.

[tshelby0522]

THIS HELPED SO MUCH FOR MY AP EURO EXAM ! thanks for posting :)

[HerculesRockefellerr]

Boring.....

[wankmyhorseplz]

God bless King Charles the I. We don't need, nor want, corrupt parliament.

Global recession, high crime rates, immigration out of control. That's parliament for you!

I wouldn't be paying high prices for a pint of beer under an Absolute Monarchy, that's for sure.

[nemo1620]

James I reigned peacefully; Charles I roused revolt. Charles II reigned peacefully; James II roused revolt.

[leftfootism]

True. It makes it easier for God to throttle him for all eternity.

[makokun9]

Accursed autocrats! Good thing he was executed.

[CULAVE]

Ive noticed youtubers here very biased to either Charles or Cromwell. The truth is they were both tyrants but in different ways. Charles saw himself as a god-king/ Cromwell was a dictaor. Fascinating period anyway.

[methenium]

@CULAVE

My position exactly.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@methenium

Thankyou (im culave- changed my username)

[ADZ01982]

@CULAVE Cromwell will forever be tarnished because he has been demonised for the past 300 hundred years since the restoration of the king. Some historians have considered him a "hero of liberty"

[NCWC2]

@CULAVE I wouldn't go as far to say Charles saw himself as a god-king, he was a strong believer in absolute authority of the monarchy having been born and raised in Scotland. Though I do agree Cromwell was an absolute tyrannical dictator.

[Abbadon380]

@CULAVE long live the god KING

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@Abbadon380

haha, youre funny. go to Thailand if you want god-kings

they arent welcome in our democracy

[Abbadon380]

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 IM JOKING

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@Abbadon380

My apologies. I just hate Thailand's current laws.

[Abbadon380]

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 wait im not a citizen of Thailand what gave you that idea

[Napoleontas]

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Your democracy welcomes every filth except those who stand out from the mass.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@Napoleontas

?

[matt3452]

fuck cromwell the cunt.god bless king charles.

[333amigops]

Charles was an idiot, Cromwell was a firm ruler

[DEVRIMCI2007]

fuck da king

[Steeleperfect]

It can't be that biased. It uses the term "executed" concerning his death. The correct term is "murdered" or "martyred".

[akon113]

keeping british history alive keep it up

[sgtreef]

i saw this at school

[InternetToughGuy08]

Boring.

[haidarahtul]

I LOVE CHARLES I

[Davie42]

there really is some oscar winning actor here

[jeffersong808]

were the british americans

[artstudent07]

God save the Commonwealth and free state of England!!

[cavalier080854]

The Commonwealth or Interegnum was, towards the end, only maintained by Martial Law under the rule of the Major Generals. England couldn't wait to welcome royalty back. I'm one of the re-enactors at 3.50 in white as Sir Thomas Tyldesleys Regiment of Foot. Yours in the cause. "God Save the King and a Pox on Parliament". They'll be giving women the vote next and the country will really go to the dogs.

[jimmyjimjam01]

Maybe the parliament should have let the country fall apart. The US sort of fell apart under the articles of the confederation, and came right back up again with the Constitution. Seemed to work out dont you think?

[cavalier080854]

It did fall apart, England seethed under the rule of the Major Generals. When Oliver Cromwell died, his son "Tumbledown Dick" took over. In 2 years England had had enough and asked Charles's son in exile to return and rule as Charles II. Resulting in a constitutional monarchy. So, although Parliament won the wars and killed the king, we are still left with a King and ruled by Parliament. The usual English way of doing things, a compromise, everyone gets something out of the chaos.

[333amigops]

Well, actually, when Charles II returned to England, it was an absolute monarchy in which the King had limited powers. It was only after George I ascended the throne that power slowly shifted from the King to Parliament, since King George couldn't speak English and carry out orders to the people.

[penfloyd]

Superb portraits Of Charles ist and family by Sir Anthony van Dyke.....

[chestertouristcom]

A very interesting period in English history

[cobweb1989]

wht ?

[dragonssports]

i can send this to my teacher!

[eddybennet]

You could do, but I don't know quite why you'd want to. It's not like you've doen the research or anything.

[kurtsharpe]

I would send it to my teacher because it is very interesting. And I believe watching this is part of my research as long as I reference it accordingly.
