| English Civil War - Wikipedia (2184 words) |
 | The English Civil War that broke out on August 27, 1642 and continued until approximately 1650 is often simply referred to in Britain as the "civil war", sometimes leading to confusion with the American Civil War. |
| There were two other periods of major civil war after the Norman Conquest: "the Anarchy," which occurred during the 12th century reign of King Stephen, and the Wars of the Roses, which lasted for much of the 15th century. |
| The English Parliament, having controverted the king's authority, raised an army led by Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex. |
