Each side was so passionate about their beliefs and customs that only a war could solve all their problems. The war was spilt between who followed the king and who followed the Parliament.

During 1643, multiple small battles continued with the same result. • Marston Moor (1644)- The King lost control of the North of England. • Naseby (1645)- Crowmell’s New Army completely defeated the King and his cause was now lost.

  5. In 1646… • In 1646 Charles surrendered to the Scots and Parliament. The Scots sold Charles to Parliament. In the end Charles ended up benefiting himself. In 1647, the king escaped proving to Parliament that he could not be trusted. In 1649 he was found guilty of “traitorously and maliciously levied war against the present Parliament and the people therein represented.” He was executed January 30th 1649.
