The Army Lists of the Roundheads and Cavaliers (Classic Reprint): Containing the Names of the Officers in the Royal and Parliamentary Armies of 1642: ... Armies of 1642 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is an indispensable reference work for the study of the English Civil War. Compiled in 1642, it lists the regiments and their commanding officers in both the Royalist and Parliamentarian armies. Those who fought in the war were not always motivated by political allegiances. Some were in the struggle for religious freedoms; others, for ideas of social justice, and many for the glory. The book thus provides a window into the diverse aspirations of 17th-century England, as seen through the men who were prepared to fight for their beliefs. The work offers an illuminating insight into the personalities of the period and the ideas which fired their passions.
