The English Civil War | Compilation | Horrible Histories

[Music] sweetheart one kings of all that's why we started the English sell off people say with no fur but we disagree especially when explaining parliamentary democracy we are particularly excited by the notions of jurisprudence really grew supporting King Charles it's really a crime when your parliamentary business cuts are party time [Music] [Music] I am The King I can do what I like start up a wall or a big tax hike got a French wine he's a Catholic oh really King Charles we're not quite sure is that how you talk to the crowd I am the king not just close Parliament down I think you'll find that's in breach of due process here's what we say to that now clear out there's fence around it so hates when she should be drownded don't believe in Christ Parliament something is we're also right here and don't say McCain fights fights fights fights fights fights fights fight Cavaliers I'm the English Civil War why is it called civil may I kill you please sure to be fought on this lab if I get to power Christmas will be bound no chance Cromwell victory will be mine you'll never pass of albumin spies about why that's what you think just wait till your court unlesss crap theatre music and sport you're pathetic won't finish even before it's begun [Music] Oh cannot wait for this horrid civil war to me over it's got fathers battling sons and old friends fighting one another not as though no indeed we Cavaliers must stick together forever loyal to good old King John exactly with true blue Royalists complete with snazzy outfits and wigs yes we're with the king whatever happened even if Cromwell's round heads from marching up the hill absolutely because they are actually marching up the hill okay so they are pushing his weight around and ignoring Parliament I mean who does he think he is exactly down with the monarchy yes we're round heads through and through complete with a manky outfit yep we're with Cromwell whatever happens even if the Caverly around me are marching quickly up the other side of the hill [Music] don't take the king and all that your outfits a bit mixed up I mean you look like sort of a rounded leer well you look like a cab ahead we'll end up getting shot by both sides we're closing in what do we do there's only one thing for it not yes Plan C [Music] maybe wasn't there a plan D it's Plan C only without the pants [Music] hello and welcome to the news at when when the 1600s when the people of Britain went to war with each other to decide whether they wanted the country ruled by a king or ruled by parliament with more details it's over to Bob Hale with the Civil War report Bob thank you Sam well it's 1625 and I hope you're dressed smartly because here comes the game yes it's King Charles the first and right from day one he is stirring up trouble mainly because he's supposed to be a Protestant like the Church of England but he keeps doing some very Catholic e things like marrying a Catholic praying like a Catholic who wearing an I love catholics t-shirt except not the last one and Charlie's behavior annoys an awful lot of people especially in the Parliament down here in London so Charlie tells them to take some time off about ten years in fact leaving him in charge of the entire country which is jolly good fun but not for long first Ascot stick of this bossy Catholic loving King start a war against him and in the Irish sick of English people stealing all their land start another war against him and Wars are very expensive so Charlie brings back Parliament just so we can ask them for some money and they say no because you tried to get rid of us remember and instead they just give him a big long list of everything they don't like about him well talk about trouble over the next two years the country divides in two with some people siding with Charlie that's the Cavaliers and other people siding with Parliament that's the Roundheads until in 1642 here in Nottingham civil war is declared and what a war it is in fact if we look at the fight ometer we can see that the first major battle h hill victory goes to no one at all how very dull it's a dead heat but in round two here in London the winner is Oh a great result for the round heads there followed by a real killing for the Cavaliers down in the West Country and then another win for the king up north taking Boldin preston Wigan and Liverpool where my cousin Ted runs a dry cleaners just off the High Street half price shirts on Wednesdays worth remembering but the Kings luck can't last it's complete murder of master more followed by a lookout at Newbury and annihilation at day three in fact he's doing so badly broken RTE Charlie has an idea he'll make a truce with the Scots if they'll help him fight the Roundheads which is absolutely brilliant except it doesn't work at all and they just hand him over to Parliament so the Roundheads win the Cavaliers lose and that is the end of that but not the long it soon becomes clear that have round head leader Oliver Cromwell is about as much fun as stinging nettle Underpants so the Scots finally form an alliance with Charlie to overthrow Cromwell yes it's Civil War part 2 with the Scots and the Cavaliers fighting on the same side there's no way they can lose so we've got yes Cromwell completely crushes both of them and it's goodbye Civil War goodbye Charlie's head and indeed goodbye kings and queens all together yes Cromwell is now in charge of the country and with all the warring finally over all he can stop being mean to the Cavaliers and start being mean to the rest of us he turns Britain into a Puritan state which means banning pretty much anything it's fun including sport theatre and Christmas and then he runs out of stuff the band gets bored and dies so his son Richard takes over but he's about as much use as a jelly picket and before long the people of Britain just want the pity Puritans out and the crazy kings back yes Prince Charles is welcomed home with open arms he becomes king Charles a second and the monarchy is restored it's the restoration which gives us all sorts of fun things including restoration comedies restoration fashion and restoration furniture including this delightful mahogany bureau now do I hear 750 pounds 750 of the bureau 750 what's at about 750 I've got 800 for the Bureau 800 going once a date under 900 the Bureau 900 about in 950 in the back there I've got a thousand pounds thousand pounds going once at a thousand twice in a thousand souls for a thousand pounds at a beautiful lady with a beautiful bob haircut and back
