The first 1642–1646 and second 1648–1649 wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament while the third 1649–1651 saw fighting between supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. The war ended with Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651. The outcome of the war was threefold: the trial and execution of Charles I 1649; the exile of his son Charles II 1651; and the replacement of English monarchy with at first the Commonwealth of England 1649–1653 and then the Protectorate under the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell 1653–1658 and briefly his son Richard 1658–1659. In England the monopoly of the Church of England on Christian worship was ended while in Ireland the victors consolidated the established Protestant Ascendancy. Constitutionally the wars established the precedent that an English monarch cannot govern without Parliament's consent although the idea of Parliamentary sovereignty was only legally established as part of the Glorious Revolution in 1688.</p><p><br />NOTE: The pictures are of the actual item for sale.
