The neat part of this scene is it's mostly accurate. While Cromwell wasn't one of the men on the warrant for arrest, King Charles really did walk in and sit in the Speaker's chair. The King's remark, "I see that the birds have flown" and Speaker Lenthall's response are also near exact.

@@HappyGoLucky-tr8bo I think history would be drastically different.

It's actually a great pity because for the most part independence from the British Empire was typically a peaceful process for most countries, so it's a shame it ever came to war with America
@matthewsmith51048 ай бұрын
@@HappyGoLucky-tr8bo This is an interesting point because after the American Revolution, when nationalist sentiment was brewing in Canada (especially after 1812), the British allowed the creation of Dominion status - basically the creation of a local federal parliament with full jurisdiction over all domestic matters, including taxation, while still technically part of the British Empire; the Dominion of Canada. Other Dominions followed in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I can't help but think if late 18th century British politicians had the foresight to grant Dominion status to the Americans in response to their grievances, the Revolutionary War might have been avoided entirely. But the Revolution's outcome certainly influenced the future of other colonial nations.

Why is Charles always cast as The Palatine here? I Know he;s a King and Kings are Evil ands We, the people should Rule and We are So glad We are in a Democracy and all that but, Charles was not Evil, and Cromwell overthrew that Democracy in Favour of a Military Dictatorship. And considering Charles still Obeyed The legal Limits of the Monarchy and did not Raise New taxes or set New Laws even when Parliament was dissolved, but Cromwell set new taxes and new laws without the Consent of Parliament, Was that Really Better?

@@patrickhows1482 I disagree, since what turned most moderates against Parliament was when they took control of the militias away from the King for themselves--that happened right before this event though months before Charles raised his standard at Nottingham...those intervening months, with both sides arming and mustering men, were what solidified support for Charles, as his presence away from Parliament and the tacit departure of his supporters and Royalist moderates from both Houses basically exposed Pym's faction as extreme radicals If Charles did not attempt to arrest these guys and subsequently stay in Whitehall he would essentially be giving the increasingly antagonistic Parliament legitimacy-- just as to allow Pym and Hampden unchecked would essentially to aid and abet them; his real mistake was in waiting overnight and most of January 4 to make the arrest, as they had just minutes to spare to make their escape as it happened

@@warlordofbritannia The debate over the Grand Remonstrance in November 1641 showed that the moderate reformers felt that they had achieved their goals and that Charles as king should be allowed to rule unfettered, now that legislation had been passed to stop the king misusing the royal prerogative. The Grand Remonstrance only passed by 11 votes. The decision to publish it further dismayed moderates, who were getting increasingly worried about Pym's use of the London crowds to intimidate opponents. The exclusion of the bishops from the House of Lords further alienated moderates, as this was seen to be attacking the 'ancient' constitution itself. Probably a majority of MPs wanted to return the Church of England to way it was under Elizabeth and most of the reign of James I, they were not presbyterians. The control of the military was the other main issue from Autumn because of the Irish rebellion. Charles was also unlucky in that the Countess of Carlisle was a mole who leaked information to Pym. Even if Charles had arrested the five members there would have been rioting, if not an actual insurrection, so that if Charles felt that his family were in danger he would have still have had to flee the capital. Charles I should have played the long game like Richard II did in 1388, thus enabling him to resume his power after the Lord Appellants' showed they could govern England no better. Many of those who rallied to Charles in 1642 did so reluctantly, out of loyalty to the Crown rather than Charles himself.

He started an unnecessary war with Spain. He ignored parliament for like 20 years, only consulting it like twice (when he needed money, because he started an unnecessary war with Spain) and then completely trampling over the 4 rules parliament asked of him (e.g. stopping to issue fraudulent arrest warrants without reason) just a few months later.

The sad thing here was that both men believed they were genuinely doing what was best for the nation. Charles I was not power hungry for the sake of power; he thought that it was his duty, given by God Himself, to oversee the nation to the best of his ability. Cromwell, on the other hand, saw a man far too Catholic to be what he considered Christian, and thought it was his God given duty to break away from the influence of the Church. I think it could definitely be argued that Cromwell was far more tyrannical and ruthless than Charles.

@@str.77 Cromwell did have some good ideas. For example, he realized that the parliament (while under the commonwealth) wasn't getting any reforms done that the people wanted. They simply became greedy, and stagnant. However, no amount of disbanding parliament ever seemed to do anything.

@@maxtyler8993 Seems to be a very common theme in history, I been listening to a podcast about the French Revolution and the same thing happens with their parliament and their king. Despite what we hear about the French king he did want to change things but had too much push back that he was basically powerless to actually make any real reform.

@@maxtyler8993 How is that a good idea? "Parliament doesn't do what I want so I dissolve it." It is not that different from what the King did - only Charles did not go about changing the lives of his subjects. MPs didn't become greedy, they always were - and that includes Cromwell.

King Charles made a mistake by not arresting Oliver Cromwell right there and then. If he had made an example of Cromwell, he would not have been executed later. Leaving Cromwell alive and well in parliment was a huge mistake by Charles I.
