Both sides murdered and mutilated the camp following women that they captured. Horrible

Given that this book is really a history of almost a century, he does skim over 3 years of brutal civil war in a few chapters so far. So i should find a different detailed book if i want to learn the nitty gritty of it

Royalists keep massacring civilians. Finished Ch 10

Decades of protestant vs catholic cultural clashes, & parliamentarian vs royalists radical government reforms, plus the ongoing continental thirty years war, & horrible economic & social conditions including overpopulation, all contributed to the outbreak of the english civl war in the 1640s.

King Charles fails in arresting five opposing members of parliament and the entire city of London becomes chaotic over dread of armed conflict between royalists and parliamentarian people. It falls apart and people start seizing and stockpiling weapons in anticipation of civil strife.

Northern irish start a campaign to remove all protestant english settlers from ulster
