Pax Britannica: A History of the British Empire episodes
- 02.70 - The Man of Blood
With King Charles I faced with reality, and parliament desparate for peace, the Newport Treaty promises to be a compromise settlement. But the New Model Army, and especially Oliver Cromwell's son-in-law Henry Ireton, refuse to allow this 'man of blood' to get away with murder. The Long Parliament will soon be dead, killed by Pride's Purge, and the stage will be set for an unprecedented trial.

With King Charles as their rallying point, the many factions and groups who despise the New Model Army prepare to fight. The only problems are distance, timing, shared objectives, motivations, or any sense of unity of purpose. But at least they all want to see the king back on the throne... mostly.

29 min - 02.64 - A Deal with the Devil
The Scots watched as 1647 showed post-war England come to the brink of revolution, and with it all sorts of crazy ideas like 'religious toleration'. Despite the stubborness of their king, they would have to compromise.
