 | | The English Civil War was as much the response to the effects of the Reformation as it was a response to the needs of the rising middle classes, the landed gentry. |
 | | The war itself involved the king, Parliament, the aristocracy, the middle classes, the commoners, and the army. |
 | | The first, between King Charles I and Parliament, allied with the Scottish Covenanters, lasted until 1646; the second, in which a Scottish army fought for Charles I against Parliament, took place in 1648; and the last, in which the Scots were led by Charles II as their king, lasted from 1649 to 1651. |
