Somerset in 1641 was a heady mix of supporters of bishops and their ancient system of governance (known as episcopacy), the King, Parliament and those who supported combinations thereof, as well as neutrally-minded people. This book examines, for the first time, the loyalties of the people of Somerset, including the gentry and clergy on the eve of the First English Civil War. Alongside this analysis are transcripts of key documents from that most turbulent period. The subject of episcopacy and its effects on the Diocese of Bath and Wells is examined in detail through the analysis of unpublished testimonies of contemporary Somerset folk. Also included is an account of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, including his time spent in the Tower of London. Using a wide variety of original sources, and a different approach to analysing petitions, the traditional thoughts about people's loyalties in those turbulent years are challenged. One of the key sources is a petition from over 230 clergy and 14,350 lay men in response to Somerset's and London's 'root and branch' petitions of 1640. Somerset's petition, organised by a faction of local royalist gentry and clergy, was presented at a key moment in the constitutional history of England. It reflected not only the supporters of King Charles but also those who wanted to change the way the Church was run. This edition of the December 1641 petition shows the extent of Royalist support on the eve of civil war. Complementing this are some hitherto unpublished records showing how Somerset reacted to the Irish Rebellion of 1641. These include the names of those in the east of the county who gave money in support of the distressed Protestants who had suffered during the Catholic uprising, and others demonstrating how Parliamentary supporters gained financially from the sale of lands in Ireland. The original documents transcribed and reproduced in this volume are mainly drawn from the Parliamentary Archives, The National Archives of England and Wales, the Archive of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society, the Diocese of Bath and Wells and a private collection. Read about the events concerning the vicar of Pitminster, Christmas at Barrington, the Bishops Wars, strange preachers at Chew Stoke, cuckoo pipes at Bruton, militiamen, fighting clergy, Ship Money, the bishop's registrar, communion tables, petitioners from Beckington, Taunton and Bath investors, MPs, coded petitions, riots at Neroche, Royalists and Roundheads, Assize courts, poor clergymen, protestations, silver-tongued Sydenham, church courts and much more.

This book charts the fortunes of the armies raised by the Scottish Covenanters as they fight across Scotland, Ireland and England in defence of their cause and in defiance of their king. From the Bishops Wars to the surrender of Charles I, Ready to Bleed explains the motivations, leadership, and appearance of the Scottish forces as they campaigned across three theatres. As well as narrating their progress through battle, siege, and skirmish, the author explores the elements which made the Scots armies so effective at its peak, and the changing factors which affected its ability to sustain its early successes.Presenting the civil wars from a Scottish perspective and setting that country's military endeavours into the contexts of both the domestic and wider political situation, this is a highly accessible volume combining both detail and pace.

The fighting bishop or abbot is a familiar figure to medievalists and much of what is known of the military organization of England in this period is based on ecclesiastical evidence. Unfortunately the fighting cleric has generally been regarded as merely a baron in clerical dress and has consequently fallen into the gap between military and ecclesiastical history. This study addresses three main areas: which clergy engaged in military activity in England, why and when? By what means did they do so? And how did others understand and react to these activities? The book shows that, however vivid such characters as Odo of Bayeux might be in the historical imagination, there was no archetypal militant prelate. There was enormous variation in the character of the clergy that became involved in warfare, their circumstances, the means by which they pursued their military objectives and the way in which they were treated by contemporaries and described by chroniclers. An appreciation of the individual fighting cleric must be both thematically broad and keenly aware of his context. Such individuals cannot therefore be simply slotted into easy categories, even (or perhaps especially) when those categories are informed by contemporary polemic. The implications of this study for our understanding of clerical identity are considerable, as the easy distinction between clerics acting in a secular or ecclesiastical capacity almost entirely breaks down and the legal structures of the period are shown to be almost as equivocal and idiosyncratic as the literary depictions. The implications for military history are equally striking as organisational structures are shown to be more temporary, fluid and 'political' than had previously been understood.

During the 1640s, the kingdoms ruled by Charles I - England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland - were gripped by a series of civil wars and conflicts which were, in part, distinct to each kingdom, but which also overlapped and inter-related, leading some British historians to portray them as a single 'British' conflict. The British Wars by Peter Gaunt offers a concise history of these wars, from the beginning of Charles I's travails with the Scots to the conclusion of the wars at the Battle of Worcester and the English conquest of Ireland and Scotland. Providing a clear, concise and balanced account of events in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland, this book * explores the relationship between the three kingdoms *looks at military, political and religious developments in each * assesses whether the wars can be seen as a single 'British' conflict or should be viewed as a series of inter-related but essentially separate wars.

The military organization of nation states and their employment of armies are central aspects of early modern European history. The seventeenth century was particularly a period of transformation that witnessed drastic change in armies’ preparation for and execution of military campaigns. To date, historians have tended to overlook military development as it occurred in the British Isles. Yet Britain offers the historian an interesting subject for the examination of first, how emerging ideas of military organization, doctrine, and strategy were transmitted from the European continent; and second, how British soldiers demonstrated their familiarity with contemporary military practice through the conduct of campaigns. The evidence of military publications within Britain, as well as the experience of British soldiers overseas, indicates that English and Scottish soldiers grappled with the important tenets of the continental military revolution. The campaign strategies employed by British military commanders during the Second Bishops’ War of 1640 and the English Civil War of 1642-1646 were undoubtedly complex and reflective of the confused political conditions of the period. Nonetheless, British soldiers attempted to fight and to win using a contemporary, thoroughly European understanding of warfare.
