Historian Simon Schama looks beyond the romantic stories of Cavaliers and Roundheads to the real story of the English Civil War. The bloody skirmish saw thousands of Britons dead, countless families torn apart and a nation bitterly divided. Two events unique within British history resulted. The public execution of the monarch, Charles I, and the creation of England’s first and only republic.
