Explanation:

The English Civil War was a series of civil wars and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists principally over the manner of England's governance. he English Civil War (1642-1651) was a series of three wars fought over who had the most power in the English government: Parliament or the Crown. The Royalists supported the King, while the Parliamentarians (or Roundheads, named for their style of helmet) supported Parliamentary restriction of the monarchy. King Charles I was dedicated to the idea of the 'divine right of kings:' he believed he was raised to the throne by God and as such, his power could be limited by God alone. Led by Oliver Cromwell, the Roundheads took over government and executed King Charles I by beheading. Cromwell, and later his son, ruled England as the Commonwealth of England until the monarchy was restored in 1688.
