Civil War !!!
For this term’s homestudy, you will need to work in a group to create a presentation on the English Civil War.
Each group will have four people. A team leader will be chosen for each group who is responsible for making sure that the work is split equally and that the project is ready on time.
The presentation can be in the form of a poster, film or multimedia presentation (PowerPoint).
But first things first – what happened in the
Civil War???
1642 July – the first fighting broke out in Lancashire August – Prince Rupert arrived in England to help
Charles I October – the battle of Edgehill – the first real battle
of the Civil war. Neither side really won, but the Roundheads had lost a lot of their important soldiers. It looked like victory for the King.
I won!(Kind of)
1643 Throughout this year, the King and the
Cavaliers won victories at Chalgrove Field, Adwalton Moor and Bristol. The King was in control and would surely win the war.
I WON!!
1644 The key battle of this year was the Battle of
Marston Moor. Supplies for both sides were poor: the Royalists had to drink water from the ditches. A new important man was in charge of the Roundheads, Oliver Cromwell and he had new ideas about how to fight a war. The King’s troops were destroyed and Parliament had its first big victory.
Uh OH!
1645 The Battle of Naseby – a key turning
point in the Civil War. Main reasons for this: Cromwell and his New Model Army.
Im a Loser !
1646 The King’s cause was lost and a series of
defeats followed Naseby. The King gave himself over to the Scots who in turn gave him to the Roundheads in exchange for a large sum of money. Charles remained under house arrest.
NobodyLoves me!
1649 Charles is put on trial and executed.
I Think I’m
Dead!
