    One essential thing this video leaves out though is that even though the monarchy was restored with Charles II, it was a much reduced monarchy. A monarchy that had to answer to Parliament much in line with what Parliament had originally demanded from Charles I. Thus, Parliament eventually got what it wanted, though only after having endured Cromwell's dictatorship.

Then he refused to invade Ireland and when he thought Cromwell was becoming even worse he fought to restore Charles II. The rare British historical person who seemed like a great guy.

      The Brownists and separatists on the other hand while holding similar theological views to the puritan parliamentarians were as their name suggests not particularly welcomed by parliament. In their quest for freedom of religion it was the independents or congregationalist puritans who first set sail for the new world.
      The American Presbyterians differed at the time from their English counterparts by embracing the same ideal as the independents in regards to freedom of worship. This is reflected in the American revision of the Westminster Confession which is the statement of doctrine held by that denomination.

      Support for the Royalists bit the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony in the butt after the Restoration when Charles II revoked their corporate charter, appointed a royal governor, and ordered some antidemocratic practises of their colonial government changed immediately. The Puritans here deliberately kept their corporate charter in Boston so they could establish a theocracy in English North America, which they did.

      Cromwell wasn't anti royalist but he was anti Stuart. It is this period that helped the UK to become a constitutional monarchy. This in turn prevented the revolution that saw the end of the French monarchy.
      Incidentally, Cromwell saw the fight as a fight for religious freedom and liberty of conscience.

    I watched an interesting documentary about how the new printing press in England greatly influenced the outbreak and eventual outcome of the Civil War. From what I can remember, Prince Rupert's massacre-ing was widely reported by the Parliamentarians, who had access to the then press of the time, and swayed public opinion against the king. Great video btw! :D

    This channel continues to teach me random stuff that I never knew, even after studying this period for a while. I never knew that Cromwell was offered the crown, nor that he refused it to avoid looking like he had thrown a coup.

    Interesting fact: Shortly after Charles was buried, a lone figure in a cloak went to his tomb and muttered “Cruel necessity.” then left. No-one knows who it was, but some think it may have been Oliver Cromwell.

    Joining the masses in hoping you return to this, even if it's no longer the 10 minute format. I enjoyed running through these, honestly my only gripe (which I think got better over time) was slapping the mic for deaths, the lack of processing of that sound is like clapping someones ears (and although it's probably fine, there's a paranoid part of me concerned it might wreck headphone drivers haha)
