A "brilliant" idea in trying to unite the countries, Charles forced the Scottish churches to carry the Anglican prayer books. This move didn't go over so well. After the service, riots sprung up and a war started. Not a great result for the king who then failed to drum up support to go and fight the rowdy Scots who invaded from the North!

Since Charles was above the law, and the law itself, he would exact cruel visual punishments to those he found guilty of speaking against him and his court. The chopping off of ears and branding of the face were just two visual ways of identifying and publicly humiliating anyone who tried to protest the will of the king and his court.

West Side Story influenced English Civil War Song!
We are the Roundheads,
We don't want Kings no more That's why we started the English Civil War People say we're no fun But we disagree... Especially when explaining Parliamentary democracy We are particularly excited by notions of jurisprudence... That's enough dullness, we're the Cavalier crew Supporting King Charles and everything that'll he do Puritans bore us, it's really a crime When your Parliamentary business cuts our partying time Roundheads, sound heads Keep-the-music-down heads Rules and regulations They're dull but fair! Cavaliers, three cheers, Wackier head-gears, We live to boogie with our peers. Unfair? Don't care! I am the King, I can do what I like Start up a war, or a big tax hike Got a French wife, she's a Catholic... (Oh Lor'!) But really King Charles we're not quite sure Insolence - is that how you talk to the crown? I am the King, I'll just close parliament down... I think you'll find that's in breach of due process. Here's what we say to that - now clear up this mess Roundheads, sound heads Witches-should-be-drowned heads Don't believe in crowned heads... Parliament's our thing Cavaliers, three cheers Your superiors... We're all toffs who cry, "Hear, hear," and, "God save the King!" Fight, fight, fight, fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight! Cavaliers, Roundheads, the English Civil War. Why is it called Civil? May I kill you please? Sure! Love Civil wars to be fought on this land If I get to power, Christmas will be banned No chance Cromwell Victory will be mine! You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine That's what do you think - Just wait till you're caught I'll also scrap theatre, music and sport... You're pathetic - War will finish even before it's begun! We've taken Charles prisoner, the Roundheads have won! Oh. Victory, three cheers Cavaliers in tears No power for you I'm the leader of the pack! Charles' head, Roundhead Hurrah, now the King's dead! Sins binned, instead a righteous track! But we'll be back! |
