Quando, il 22 agosto 1642, re Carlo I issò il suo stendardo a Nottingham, l’Inghilterra entrava in uno dei periodi più turbolenti della sua storia. La guerra civile non era soltanto un conflitto armato tra due fazioni: era il segno di una frattura profonda sulla natura stessa del potere, della religione e del futuro della monarchia.
