A Decent Man S02E01 - The British Wars (1603 - 1649)

Episode Overview

The chaotic civil wars of the early 1600s led to two unprecedented moments in British history: the execution of a monarch and the establishment of a republic. Schama narrates the fierce conflict that split the nation, reshaping Britain into a politically and religiously fractured landscape. This era saw the rise of the first genuinely modern army, engaged in battles driven by ideological beliefs rather than loyalty to specific leaders.
