- 1642-46
- Parliament
- Financial administration under Pym effective in raising funds e.g. forced loans and sequestration
- London provided man power, money, propaganda, ports, induustry etc.
- Local administration gave power to Parliament supporters. 'Club man' movement supported Parl. Hutton- locals defeated Charles
- The monopoly over Navy cut off Charles supplies and provided Parl. with strongholds.
- Charles
- Military wins at Bristol, 1643, overshadowed by defeats at Naseby, 1645
- Effective administration at Oxford w/ Pym had limited influence, Charles was bad Commander in Chief (Cust) Also failed to take London and get resources
- Generals disagreed; Henrietta Maria and Pym, Rupert and Digby. Also Maurice and Rupert were not trusted by public
- Charles and relationship with Catholics provoked fears of Absolutism and crypto-Catholicism. Truce w/ IRish rebels (1643) and letters to Pope.
- Parliament
