Fairfax: "Human probabilities are not sufficient ground to make war upon a neighbouring nation."
In the spring and on the eve of the seventeenth century, a son was born to Robert and Elizabeth Cromwell of Huntingdon.

so-soI took a class on the Stuart Period in British History while in college. A period that lasted from 1603 to 1714, that was interrupted by the English Civil War (1642 - 1651). A religious war that resulted in the execution of King Charles I (Catholic) by the Parliamentarians (Protestants) under Oliver Cromwell. Interesting scholarly work that reads like a textbook. I found myself caring less for the man than what he did. It didn‘t hold my interest.
