"Roundheads: The Iconic Figures of the English Civil War" Step back in time to the tumultuous era of the English Civil War, where political and religious tensions ran high. Amidst this backdrop emerged a group known as the Roundheads, who played a pivotal role in shaping history. To Him Pudel. Bite Him Peper. These rallying cries echoed through streets and battlefields alike, as Roundhead propaganda spread like wildfire. Woodcuts depicting their cause adorned pamphlets and posters, igniting fervor among supporters. One defining moment was The Battle of Naseby in 1645. This clash between Parliamentarians (Roundheads) and Royalists marked a turning point in favor of Oliver Cromwell's forces. Dupuis immortalized this historic event with his masterful artwork in 1727, capturing its essence for generations to come. Cromwell himself stood tall amidst these turbulent times. Born in 1599, he rose to prominence as a military leader during the civil war. An unknown artist beautifully captured his stoic determination in an exquisite painting from 1830. "And When Did You Last See Your Father?" A poignant question that resonated with families torn apart by conflict. King Charles I experienced this heart-wrenching separation after parting ways with his children due to the war's consequences. The impact of Roundhead influence extended beyond battles alone; it reached even remote areas such as Abbotsbury, Dorset. Here, their ideals found fertile ground among locals who embraced their cause wholeheartedly. Siege of Basing House stands out as another testament to Roundhead resilience and determination against Royalist strongholds. Hampshire witnessed fierce clashes that showcased their unwavering commitment towards achieving victory. Let us not forget the Battle of Edgehill—a brutal confrontation that set off England's bloodiest conflict—where Roundheads fought valiantly for what they believed was right.
