Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What happened in October of 1641?

Answer: Irish Catholic peasants slaughtered their Protestant masters

Actually, the English public didn't want their king to go to Ireland because they were afraid that he would return with a Catholic army.
2. Who did the Roundheads support?

Answer: A radicalized Parliament

They were called roundheads because they 'weren't even masters of their trades'. (At the time apprentices had their hair cut so it looked like a 'round head'.)
3. In what year did the civil war begin?

Answer: 1642

Actually, August 22, 1642.
4. In what city did Charles raise his standard, starting the civil war?

Answer: Nottingham

5. Around how many people TOTAL were involved with the civil war?

Answer: 150,000

The largest battle was under 50,000 people (and that's both sides combined).
6. Was London on the side of Parliament or King during the civil war?

Answer: Parliament

The Navy was also on Parliament's side.
7. What does Parliament promise Scotland in return for military assistance?

Answer: To model the Church of England after the Scottish Kirk

The Scottish Kirk was simpler because there was no hierarchy.
8. Why did the King's forces ultimately take back what they lost in the July 1644 Battle of Marston Moor?

Answer: Parliament's forces never followed-up on their victory

The Parliamentary forces were helped at the Battle of Marston Moor by the Scots.
9. What did the April 1645 Self-Denying ordinance do?

Answer: All members of Parliament but Cromwell resigned their military posts

This was done to weed out those who received commissions based upon their position from those who received them on merit.
10. When did King Charles surrender to the Scots?

Answer: May 5, 1646

He surrendered to the Scots because he thought they would be more lenient with him (after all, he's Scottish himself).
