What sparks a nation to turn against its own king? Professor Suzannah Lipscomb dives into the turbulent and transformative decade that witnessed the English Civil Wars — a bloody clash that claimed nearly 185,000 lives and reshaped the very soul of Britain. From the power struggle between King Charles I and Parliament, to the fiery religious conflicts and political rivalries that engulfed England, Scotland, and Ireland, these two episodes unpack the interconnected wars known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. With insights from brilliant historians drawn from the Not Just the Tudors archive, Suzannah explores the causes, battles, and consequences of a war that toppled the monarchy and forever redefined the balance of power between Crown and Parliament.
