Veteran welfare past and present
This article examines the idea of a social contract between the armed forces and the state through a cross period comparison between the United Kingdom in recent years and England and Wales during the mid-seventeenth century. In doing so, it provides an analysis, grounded in sociological theory, of an early military pension scheme evidenced by thousands of surviving petitions for military welfare made by the maimed soldiers, war widows and orphan…
The Politics of Military Welfare in Yorkshire and the Memory of the Civil Wars, 1642–1709
This article addresses three key themes of conflict, welfare and memory through a detailed examination of the operation of the county welfare payments allowed to war widows, maimed soldiers and their dependants in Yorkshire during and after the British Civil Wars. It draws upon petitions, certificates and order books from county quarter sessions courts and material collected centrally by organs of the state to illuminate patterns of allegiance an…
Charles I’s Killers in America
Over the last decade, the ways in which the English Revolution was remembered and commemorated have become an increasingly fruitful and fashionable field of scholarship. Focus has ranged from the immediate aftermath, through the generations that followed, right up to the twentieth century. This volume by Matthew Jenkinson applies this approach to North American representations of the three regicides in exile in New England: Edward Whalley, Willia…
The Great Blow' and the Politics of Popular Royalism in Civil War Norwich
This article explores popular politics and royalism during the English Civil Wars through the reaction of magistrates to the riot in Norwich on 24 April 1648 that was referred to by contemporaries as the 'mutiny' or the 'Great Blow'. On the eve of the Second Civil War, this confrontation between urban rioters and New Model Army troopers led to the largest explosion of gunpowder in seventeenth-century England, when ninety-eight barrels were ignite…

It then launches into a chronological narrative packed with human-interest stories drawn from primary sources covering the military campaigns in England and Wales from 1642 to 1646. The book conc…

Turncoats and Renegadoes
This is a dedicated study of the practice of changing sides during the English civil wars. It reveals how side-changing shaped the course of the English Revolution, even contributing to the regicide itself, and remained an important political legacy to the English speaking peoples thereafter

The Farnley Wood Plot and the Memory of the Civil Wars in Yorkshire
The Northern Risings of 1663 are remarkably little-known episodes, scarcely a postscript to the triumph of the Restoration. As with most rebellions that dissolve before properly beginning, their historical significance is generally dismissed. Yet twenty-six rebels were condemned to death; sixteen of them were hanged, drawn, and quartered at York on one morning, providing a spectacle on a scale unseen in the city for nearly a century. Nearly all o…
Fitted for Desperation’
In the course of 1643 no fewer than five of Yorkshire’s MPs, who had supported parliament at the outbreak of civil war, defected to the king, and as many as another seventeen of the county’s leading gentry and army officers either did so or were strongly suspected of doing so. The MPs were Sir John Hotham, his son John Hotham, Sir Hugh Cholmley, Sir Henry Anderson and Michael Wharton. Although the drift towards royalist allegiance was by no means…
