We cut off a king's head 'cos he said he had "divine right"

(ok, it was slightly more complex and we then had 10 years of theocracy where the most exciting thing you could do was eat an onion, but you can't have it all...)

The French followed suite a bit later. Kings' heads are detachable...

Dear #BBCNews, #WestminsterAbbey has not “hosted every British coronation since 1066”. They hosted most but not all #English coronations from 1066, and none of the #Scottish coronations. Even after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 Scotland continued separate coronations until Charles II, not least because of the #EnglishCivilWar resulting in Charles II being crowned King of #Scotland in 1649 at Scone Abbey, and didn’t become King of #England until the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

Richard Harris giving his best Cromwell and calling Parliament 'scum'. "An immovable parliament is more oblivious than an immovable king." Too right. #OliverCromwell #Englishcivilwar #UKpolitics #monarchy #parliament #film #history

From a blog of covering #Warhammer #EnglishCivilWar (https://www.keepyourpowderdry.co.uk/2023/01/warhammer-english-civil-war.html?m=1) “it feels like a game of Warhammer that utilises English Civil War figures.”

Yeah, that took me less than no time to go and find a copy…

As our #CallofCthulhu campaign, Leviathans of England, winds down, grab a cup of tea and listen as we look over the series, discuss the historical Civil War setting and horror influences, go through some of the political and religious ideas around at the time, hypothesise about where the campaign could have gone, and of course, disagree over which Dune film adaptation is the best.

Out now: Episode 4 of Leviathans of England 🌊🌅⚔🐟

Leviathans of England is a short horror-mystery podcast series taking place during the #EnglishCivilWar, using an original setting of @Chaosium's #CallofCthulhu RPG 🐙

#LeviathansofEngland is series inspired by the works of MR James, set in the year 1649 in a small town on the Suffolk coast, where thirty New Model Army recruits have gone missing, and five bailiffs from London must determine what happened to them.

Sir Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax of Cameron (1612-1671), was the first and highly successful commander of the Parliamentarian New Model Army during the English Civil Wars (1642-1651). Fairfax's leadership, tactical prowess, and courage were all evident in many battles, but his greatest triumph was utterly defeating the Royalists at the Battle of Naseby in June 1645.https://www.worldhistory.org/Sir_Thomas_Fairfax/ #EnglishCivilWar #SirThomasFairfax #History

“People always say that you want to find gold in archaeology, but I think for a lot of us finding that tower will always be better than finding gold. I think it’s the highlight of our careers finding that, and I don’t think we’re going to find anything like that again.”

I wrote and game-mastered an original setting of the #CallofCthulhu RPG ft. some mid-17th century English Civil War apocalyptic goodness and a bit of inspiration from M.R. James, and I think it turned out pretty alright! (despite getting dunked on, but it comes with the job).

You can listen to the first episode of the mini-series on the @DunkingontheDM podcast feed: https://anchor.fm/dunkedon-dm

What secrets will they uncover? Royalists in hiding, witchcraft, or something older and more sinister?

Alastair is Percival Fairfax, an executioner. Josh is Fear-God FitzTalbot, a soldier. Jack is Marco Ammireti, an astronomer. Kylie is Anne Margrave, a noblewoman. Tom is Lucan, a hunter.

@jdmccafferty Nayler was tried in the House of Commons, because the Lords, which had been the highest judicial body, had been abolished, raising the question of whether the Commons had inherited its judicial function.
