The authors have done exhaustive archival research, and made good use of the State and Admiralty papers as well as the Dutch and Irish archives. As a result of their researches our knowledge of the Civil War navy has been significantly extended. The fact…

This Confused, Divided and Wretched City”: The Struggle for London in 1642-43
From an early stage in the conflict between king and parliament during the 1640s the City of London and its environs were significantly less committed to the parliamentary cause than most accounts of that conflict suggest. The battle of Edgehill (October 1642) shattered the expectation that the civil war would be quick and clean with minimal casualties. From December 1642 onwards the peace movement in the metropolis swelled steadily in numbers an…

The Struggle for London in the Second Civil War
According to a familiar interpretation, London was parliamentarian in the English Revolution, and was instrumental in the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the English republic which endured for eleven years. London was the arsenal, the treasure–house and the recruiting ground for the revolutionary cause; it was the Paris of the English Revolution. In this article I shall argue that from early 1646 – a year after the formation of…

The Sales of Crown Lands: A Rejoinder
N Q ' o objection can be made to fairness and clarity with which Mr Kishlansky has summarized argument of my article. There is only one sentence with which I would cavil: at no point in article do I state or imply that the lands were sold only in large parcels. In his subsequent critique Mr Kishlansky raises a valid point. He is quite right in observing that some officers who were not in service in January i648 did, in fact, benefit from Act for …
