Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of the Early Modern Era and the English civil war continues. In our previous video, we covered how the English Civil War finally broke out after decades of buildup, ultimately leading to the conflict’s first major pitched battle at Edgehill, in October 1642 ( • Battle of Edgehill 164... ). Many spectators and participants alike hoped this clash would end the conflict, but they were tragically mistaken, for the flawed generalship and heavy losses among King Charles I’s royalist army would lead to a deadlock that trapped the British Isles in bitter civil war for almost another two decades. Charles’ march on London and the campaign of 1643, culminated at the First Battle of Newbury ( • Battle of Newbury 1643... ). In the aftermath, the war continued both in England and Scotland, leading go the climactic battle of Marston Moor in 1644 ( • Rise of Cromwell - Mar... ). This new episode will talk about the rise of the New Model Army and the decisive battle of Naseby which was fought in 1645 ( • Cromwell’s Crowning Vi... ). The war continued until Cromwell ended it in Preston in 1648. In this series we will cover the main battles of the civil war between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians, including Edgehill, Newsbury, Marston Moor, Naseby, Preston, Drogheda, Dunbar and others.

I want an episode on the sieges Vienna 1683
Will you be covering the Levellers and True Levellers (Diggers) extensively. They’re my favorite factions of this tumultuous period and the most modern
@@klyanadkmorr historically it’s mostly due to religious affiliation and alignment. There weren’t any nationalist sentiments in this period. Scots were Presbyterian and the monarch astutely allied with their interests. I’m not sure what the Welsh supported but it’s likely also religious.
Any chance for a video about Lycurgus
So established titles was a scam
That's right kids, after the war Cromwell retired from the military, and had a peaceful career as head of the Irish tourism board.
If only. I do wish Cromwell had managed to form an actual republic, man just ended up being a king in all but name, a dictator.
Ha cough ha
@@FlaviusBelisarius-ck6uv And he was extremely unpopular during his reign as Lord Protector. To the point where after his death the exhumed his corpse, which was given a mock execution to cheering crowds.
Nice joke b taylor. It gave me a nice chuckle.
Alas, his surname could not become immortalized as that of Caesar's, and of Octavian's too
My teacher had a saying when he taught the ECW at school.
The Battle of Marston Moor cost Charles the North.
The Battle of Naseby cost him his army.
The Battle of Preston cost him his head!
Another great vid!
The Barn on my family farm was the headquarters for Cromwell at the Battle of Winwick
Love these kind of wars, modern but not too modern. Guns and cannons are there, but fights are still won with steel.
It really is that sweet spot in compelling historical battles.
@@thefinal9923 really wish the next total war would cover this period
@@normtrooper4392 I'm kind of devoted to more traditional battles for total wars, but sadly they're really pushing away from that. I enjoy Warhammer for being what it is, but the fact is it sucks graphically and for anybody who actually cares about realism. The handgunners are awful and projectiles are basically wet noodles.
But I'm very bitter.
@@normtrooper4392 Yes!
Right Just Imagine Taking a Speer To Your Face Lodging into Your Eye socket, still alive for a Few Longer Agonizing Moments getting Trampled by Your Fellow Men. Or Being Captured Totured for Muse with Your Penis being Nibbled on by Starving Mice in a Bucket 🪣 Strapped to your Crotch...
“Your pretended fear lest error should step in, is like the man who would keep all wine out of the country, lest men should be drunk. It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon a supposition he may abuse it. When he doth abuse it, judge.”
― Oliver Cromwell
Apparently there was going to be a battle in Corby, Northamptonshire but on the morning of the battle they noticed the wheels on all the cannons had been nicked
The map of Lancashire preceding the Battle of Preston is a bit suspect. Blackpool basically didn't exist at this time period (certainly not as anything larger than a tiny hamlet), and Preston is a bit too far west-northwest of where it actually is - the town of Kirkham is actually about where "Preston" is on this map.
Could you cover Cromwell’s campaign in Ireland, it came just after Charles’ execution and has a ton of sieges and great battles.
damn man spoilers
@@tatarcavalry2342oops
A lot of brutal massacres of civilians as well...
@@hammer3721 What rubbish.
@@hammer3721 also true, it shows the darker side of Cromwell.
I had to rewatch half of this video, the sight of "Spanish Netherlands" made me rethink life
This is really interesting military historical period, I like it very much. Thank you!
I'll tell you the more I watch the history channels I'm subscribed to. The more I find out things I didn't know about subjects I thought I did. Thanks and keep up the great work
Great series! 👍 Fascinating to know that the UK was once a republic.
I hope that you continue making videos of the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War. Videos about War of Devolution and Nine Years' War would be great. 👍
The UK was never a republic. It will be come the UK about 50 years after this battle.
England was a republic, sort of, for about 11 years (1649-60)
The UK was an arisotrocy not a republic
It was never a republic, they simply removed the monarchy from power. The aristocracy and landowning class still held all the power-Parliament and the nobility were the same thing for the most part.
Cromwell was offered the crown but he refused, taking the title Lord Protector, a title normally held when a king is absent from the throne (equivalent is Guardian of Scotland).
England, Scotland and Ireland were still kingdoms, simply without a king.
It was a military dictatorship in reality, Cromwell even had the power of a King.
For those not in the know. A republic is just a non-monarchic form of government. A dictatorship is still a republic. Modern examples of this are Pinochet's Chile, Franco's Spain, Pol Pots Cambodia, modern China etc.
Could you you do one about James Graham? The Marquise of Montrose? Think people would be fascinated.
"......for the covenants a Campbell mare that rides across the law. And er a Stewart bridles her, a Grahams head must fall."
Have almost 2x the number of troops as your enemy.
Don't scout efficently.
Get told that you are being attacked and completely ignore it.
GET Destroyed.....
Hope you continue the story of cromwell untill the end. Looking forward to it
Who Were Beren and Lúthien? ua-cam.com/video/_ACRCNhAaT8/v-deo.html
Awesome content and thank you so much for your effort guys!
However, because you are working on multiple projects at the same time, I often find myself forgetting about the previous episodes until the next one comes and that can be a little frustrating.
Just my two cents, thanks again for all that you do!
Perfect timing, just finished the previous episodes yesterday.
Thank you for this presentation!
excellent as always
Another great video about an interesting time period. Carry on your work. Tnx for your Projekt.
This is taught in our primary schools in Preston. Mega proud of it.
That and being an ethnic ludites 🤣
Ahaha I was amazed when this video came up as I’m from Preston 😂
However on the map they got the location of Preston a tiny bit north than it should be
Great video, thanks
Please make more videos about Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth DELUGE (Stefan Czarniecki, John II Casimir) and Ioan Sobieski- siege of Viena etc
I second that, but I would love to see them going even further back and making a series about Jan Zamoyski.
Thanks for this video.
So I guess the takeaway from all this is that in spite of all the advice and intrigue, Charles just couldn't keep...ahead... of events.
Yeah, when it mattered he came up short.
Hands down, best UA-cam channel
Another interesting video
Awesome 🎉video
Winwick is pronounced 'Winnick'.
Glad to see this channel visit locations near me. 😁
Thank you , K&G .
🐺
Doge?
Please do a whole ep on just the trial 😫
Very interesting
Jolly good show!
I've learned so much from your channel a little more than from the class room.
With King Charles' story now completed will the channel cover how his descendant Prince Bonnie and the Jacobites tried to restore the Stuart dynasty?
The history videos you make are amazing. So so much better than any detailed long documentaries that are not even available for free.
It would be nice to see video's on what Cromwell did after the English Civil Wars. Because they're just as interesting. Nice video.
I love this channel, it is so interesting and makes subjects that perhaps wouldn't be entirely enticing very catching and enjoyable. I hope one day my channel (also a history channel) will be as gripping as yours! Best the Knight of History.
I actually live in longridge, it was supposedly named by Oliver Cromwell due to it being on a “long” “ridge”.
Some nice hills round there. Also an interesting little castle with a hole blown in the keep down road in Clitheroe
14:20 - Colchester is in Essex, not Kent.
The siege of Colchester is - allegedly - the source of a nursery rhyme. The Royalist defenders (all the King's men) had a squat mortar nicknamed Humpty Dumpty (at the time, a common nickname for any fat person). The hoisted this up onto the tower of a church that was built into the old Roman walls (Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall). The Parliamentary artillery targeted the tower and damaged it, causing Humpty Dumpty to "have a great fall." The mortar could not be brought back into action, and the garrison surrendered shortly afterwards.
To this day, you an see the extent of the damage to the tower, as it was repaired with slightly different-coloured bricks.
Cool vid
I see in Cromwell a kind of British Napoleon in some political aspects.
Ye, an original Napoleon I guess
Big up the ribble Valley where I live aha realising I live in Clitheroe and not knowing the history is great!!
2:30 See the plucky Royalist town of Newark-upon-Trent in the English Midlands, the last Royalist garrison to surrender, even after the King himself. A quite attractive town today, with the ruined castle and a fine square.
Great summary of the period!
Though I have a minor correction: the Parliamentarian commander at the Battle of Stow-on-the-Wold was named Sir William Brereton, not Richard Brereton.
He had been besieging Chester earlier in the war, and at Stow-on-the-Wold he was accompanied by Colonel Thomas Morgan when they defeated Astley.
Another brilliant video K&G, one thing I did notice is that you do not have a video on the Russian revolution, would be lovely to see a documentary on that!
Commenting for the algorithm and feeling bad I have nothing more to contribute to my favorite channel
Imagine how those covenentors must have felt having the King of England as your prisoner.
Sadly I must play the pedantic old bore card.
Being the king of England did not and does not mean that you are an English king.
Charles I was a Scot, born in Scotland with a Scottish father and a Danish mother.
Thanks to the accession of his father James to the English throne, he was the king of three Kingdoms, and ruler of Wales, which they regarded as a principality.
He was the king of Scotland and Ireland as well as England.
Imagine being an English Parliamentarian who has seen the fears of Parliament that James would attempt to rule England in the same way as he ruled Scotland realised in his son Charles.
Your country has endured a civil war, and Charles tries again to take control and rule as a divinely ordained king.
He is in your hands because after he had been defeated, he believed that his fellow countrymen would treat him better than the English Parliament, and he placed himself in their mercy.
They promptly sold him to the English for £100,000 and the promise of even more money in the near future.
So the Scots handed him over to you, and he continued to plot and scheme, despite being offered very generous terms.
The Scots invade again and are defeated at Preston and Winwick.
Little wonder he was known as that man of blood.
King of Scotland, the Covenanters were Scottish
"Busy shooting themselves in the foot", that was pretty funny for some reason
A very strange conflict all in all. A weird mesh of old & new with pikemen & artillery being engaged at the same time.
As a resident of Taunton and surrounding areas. I can confirm, Taunton is not a city. Definitely a town. And Bridgwater has no 'e'.
Those ditches referred to in this video are most definitely not irrigation ditches
They are to carry water away. Aka drainage ditches
Pronunciation note from a local: it's "Winnick", not "Win-wick"
Ha Ha I knew somone would point that out before me. I prefer the name Battle of Red Bank myself though. But to be honest, I'm just glad it got a mention because from the title, I was thinking they were going to claim that Preston was the final action..
Prince Rupert knew that he could not realistically hold Bristol for long, he made an unfortunate but nonetheless sound tactical decision to withdraw that not only saved the lives of his men, but also spared the city from further destruction.
I see your Napoleon in Italy series Epic History and raise you an Oliver Cromwell English Civil War campaign -
Kings and Generals
Will you continue the Byzantine reconquista series?
9:00 Imagine how different British history would be had the Levelers succeeded in the end. They essentially espoused the same beliefs and goals of the founding fathers in what became the USA. A British democratic republican revolution before the one in America and France. How drastically this would have affected the balance of power in Europe.
Infelizmente não ha legenda em português. Infelizmente não falo ingles. Mas amo sr. Oliver cromwell
The Civil War is over!
And somehow shit actually gets WORSE from here
Cromwell: A fun sponge so A1 tier that he can make an entire country a decade long buzzkill
Thank you. I finally understood the cause of the Putney debates, and how the king ended up on the Scottish side.
Bada boom
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
I have to ask, what is the amazing intro music you're using for this series?

@@raptormaster666 Thank you.
@@MrGksarathy No problem, I was asking the same thing about a month ago for the same reason. :)
Thank you Alexandre Dumas for bringing me Here
Charles 1 was like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Despite being thoroughly beaten and being held as a prisoner Charles still demanded terms favorable to him like he still had power. He was delusional to the end.
Who got beheaded after the Restoration? Ollie Cromwell!
@@hammer3721 Not really comparable, is it? Cromwell was already dead and was disinterred by Charles II in an act of pettiness worthy of Charles I.
@@adamndirtyape Exactly like that genocidical traitor deserved!
@@hammer3721 He was not a traitor, you royalist sympathizer!!! Wish we had someone like Cromwell today. To hell with Chalres I!!!
@@MultiEvil85 Imagine accusing the King of committing treason.
Great show. What’s an English? I love fantasy. You guys are creative.
Anyone else notice they use civ 5 war songs?
“Every man by nature is a king, priest, and prophet in his own natural circumference.” - Richard Overton, 1646
I have a question for you guys. Why didn’t you guys made any video on Indian kings from 700 ad onwards
U promised me mountains but gave me molehill
It will be a different request but are you planning to war spain i.e. carlist wars and full fledged reconquista? cheers
You guys should really do The Anarchy next. There's surprisingly little out there about it.
It is on our list!
@@KingsandGenerals 👍
Especially since it was the inspiration for the Dance of the Dragons.
Will this eventually led to the King's execution to be featured on this channel?
Go the Levellers
THIS SERIS IS BRILLIANT. CROMWELL THE GREATEST ENEMY OF CHARLES I OF ENGLAND. I LOVE AND ADMIRE THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND.
Cromwell: The parliament is in the hands of madmen!
Hasn't changed, then, they're still there!
Charles I seemed like quite a shrewd fellow
please can someone tell me the song/music that plays in the introduction

@@raptormaster666 much appreciated
The Battle of Great Torrington and the Royalist Loss of the South West might be a good campaign and Battle.
Would you ever let Devin use the tech and graphics to narrate one of his short strategy game campaigns?
👍🙏
Dundee is a bit out.😉
Excellent. Just one niggle. In Britain, the s is pronounced in Marquess.
Fantastic video! I can't wait for the next installment. England is a strange nation; even after throwing off the yoke of Monarchy they kept bringing it back. As an American it seems strange to see a people that so desired to be rules as subjects.
Why did Charles use Oxford as his base?
It was the most royalist city closest to London
✌✌
Fun fact because of this war the Jamaican accent was formed
i watch the wolfwalkers is a great movies the Cromwell become as villian they just hunt down and get rid of wolfs and some war didnt happened. Cromwell the lord protecters from wolfwalkers is from Other universe and Cromwell from normal universe he died due for execute they both diff from universe
damn I didn't know the guy all the science youtubers talk about related to glass bulbs shattering was subtweeted by charles I
The Scottish invasions would have followed the route of the old Roman coast road, and thence the A49 Trunk Road.
Preston, Wigan and Winwick ( Winnick, the second W is silent) are all on this road, which runs from Herefordshire to Bamber Bridge, site of the infamous Battle of Bamber Bridge in 1943.
Preston was known as Proud Preston. Pious was sometimes added, as was Papist due to the large number of Catholic recusants there and in Lancashire in general.
There are two monuments of note. Warrington, which was then in Lancashire, has a statue of Cromwell.
There were objections from the local Irish community*, which were duly noted and ignored. Queen Victoria was kept away from the statue when she visited the town.
The second is from the Anglo-Scottish War of 1651 on the A49 at Swinley, and it commemorates the death in battle of Sir Thomas Tyldsley. Sir Thomas was a Catholic supporter of the Stuart's, and was known as finest knight in England.
* Lancashire has a large population of people of Irish descent.
13:30, 'Which the Scotch', a drink found something troublesome?, seriously....
🧐
Wetherby is around 35 miles too far east.
Wow.. I wonder how anyone survives a civil war.. They just seem so nasty
"When on October 18th", no, what you mean to say is, "When on the 18th October".
Cannot wait to watch the rise and fall of Commonwealth in K&G's brilliant video, after the civil war
Very interesting..... not taught at all well in catholic schools in the 50's....
The map of the Low Countries is so fucked. I don't know where to begin lol
