a parliamentarian is a consultant who advises the presiding officer and other officers, commits and members on matters of parliamentary procedure. parliamentarians are frequently used to assist with procedure during conventions and board meetings. such advisors often turn long, difficult meetings into short , painless ones.
The English Civil War started on August 22, 1642 and ended on September 3, 1651. The war was a victory for the English Parliamentarian, and resulted in the execution of King Charles I.
Charles was forced to use Oxford after the Battle of Turnham Green which occurred on the 13th November 1642 near the village of Turnham Green, at the end the first campaigning season of the First English Civil War. On the battlefield, the engagement resulted in a standoff between the Royalist army of King Charles I and the much larger Parliamentarian army under the command of the Earl of Essex. However, in successfully blocking the Royalist army's way to London, the Parliamentarians gained an important strategic victory because the standoff forced Charles and his army to retreat to Oxford for secure winter quarters. Which remained as his base for the rest of the Civil War
What were the tactics the 'New Model Army' used to win the English Civil War? The tactics employed by both sides during the Civil War were modeled on those used on the continent in the 'Thirty Years War' - with particular reference to the tactical doctrine of the army of Sweden. It was not, in truth, tactical superiority that won the war for the Parliamentarians, rather it was the superior discipline and organisation of the New Model Army. The Parliamentarian army of 1642 (the year the war began) reflected it's Royalist counterpart; generally poor training and discipline, inadequate logistical support and often insufficient or inappropriate equipment. The latter 'New Model Army' was an entirely different construct. The New Model Army was comprised of (relatively) well supported professional soldiers who were capable of executing complex battlefield maneuvers to a degree that entirely outclassed their Royalist opposites.
A Roundhead was a soldier who supported the Parliamentarian cause during the English Civil War.They were given this nickname because of their hairstyle. The Royalists/Cavaliers had long hair, often in ringlets, while the Parliamentarians (Puritans and Roundheads) wore their hair short in a pageboy like style.The word Roundhead was not liked by the Parliamentarians and they made it an offence to use it.The round-heads were followers of Parliament in the English civil war
This was King Charles 1st, following the English Civil War in which his Royalist forces fought against the Parliamentarian troops of Oliver Cromwell. It should be stressed that Cromwell did not WANT to execute the King, merely to get him to agree to change from being an Absolute to a Constitutional monarch, with Parliament having the right of veto over his decisions and there being an end to the notion of 'the Divine Right of Kings' (a belief that was seriously held by English sovereigns up until then, that they had been specially appointed by God to rule their land). But King Charles would have none of it- had he just disagreed but put up no resistance to changing the British system of Government, he would probably have just gone into exile or been placed under house-arrest, but instead he kept escaping from prison to continue acting as Commander-in-Chief to his army. In the end, the frustrated Cromwell felt that executing him was the only option left available. The King's death brought the war to an end, although there was a rebellion in 1651 at the Battle of Worcester, when Charles II's younger brother Prince Rupert attempted to lead an insurgency against Cromwell's rule. This, however, was also defeated.
