Abstract
The ‘Second Civil War’ is a term of convenience, used to describe the various uprisings, battles, and naval actions that occurred in and around England and Wales between March and August 1648. The ‘war’ consisted of several overlapping and interrelated conflicts — a series of local insurrections of varying intensity and character; a bungled Royalist military campaign to reverse the outcome of the First Civil War; and a Scottish invasion to overthrow the ‘prevailing party’ in England and restore the king.
