Detailed explanation-1: -Parliament had a geographical advantage over the crown because they controlled the main ports and had support from the navy. Parliament raised money effectively through taxes and tonnage and poundage from ports whereas the King relied on irregular monetary gifts from the gentry.
Detailed explanation-2: -Between 1642 and 1651, armies loyal to King Charles I and Parliament faced off in three civil wars over longstanding disputes about religious freedom and how the “three kingdoms” of England, Scotland and Ireland should be governed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The immediate causes of the English Civil War were religion, money, and power. Religion caused war because the puritans became enemies of Charles I. These “purifyers” of Catholic practices did not support his Anglican ruling views.
Detailed explanation-4: -The English Civil Wars were a devastating series of conflicts fought in the middle of the 17th century. They centred around a titanic struggle for power between King Charles I and Parliament, with battle lines drawn over deep-seated and complex divisions in politics, religion and economic policy.
