England
was plagued with Civil Wars for some 18 years between
1642 and 1660. Charles I had ascended the throne in 1625,
but his marriage to Henrietta Maria, daughter of Henry
IV of France and a fervent Catholic, and his constant
disagreements with Parliament led to the start of the
first Civil War on 22 August 1642 when Charles raised
his standard at Nottingham. Most of Herefordshire supported
the king and his followers, the Cavaliers, so called for
their fine clothes and reckless conduct. They were opposed
by the dour parliamentarian troops - the Roundheads. There
were many battles and in 1645 the city of Hereford was
under siege by the Scots army for six weeks until the
king came to its relief. By that time the battle was almost
lost and in 1646 Charles surrendered to Parliament. He
was arraigned before a tribunal of 135 judges, but refused
to plead. Sentence was passed by 68 votes to 67 - by one
vote Charles lost his head, being executed in Whitehall
on 30 January 1649. Following this, Oliver Cromwell became
Lord Protector and the Commonwealth had begun.
