"Parliamentarians: Guardians of Democracy Through the Ages" Step back in time and witness the valorous Parliamentarians who shaped history. From pivotal battles to iconic figures, their legacy endures. In 1645, at the Battle of Naseby, Parliamentarian forces clashed with Royalists in a turning point of the English Civil War. This historic event forever altered England's destiny. Fast forward to 1727 when echoes of that conflict still resonated. The creator Dupuis immortalized this era through his artistry, capturing its essence for generations to come. One name synonymous with Parliamentarianism is Cromwell - Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658). A formidable leader whose influence reverberates through time, he championed parliamentary power during a tumultuous period. The year 1830 witnessed an unknown artist encapsulating John Hampden (c1594-1643), another stalwart defender of parliamentary rights. His unwavering commitment remains an inspiration today. The Siege of Reading in 1643 brought Tilehurst alive as re-enactors recreated scenes from the English Civil War. Here, Parliamentarians valiantly defended their cause against Royalist opposition. Henry Ireton's portrait from c. 1650 showcases his dedication to the Parliamentary cause on canvas—an enduring testament to his unwavering spirit amidst turbulent times. The Great Seal of the Commonwealth in 1650 symbolizes unity and strength under parliamentary governance—a powerful emblem that united a nation striving for progress and justice. Even plots against parliament were thwarted; "Arrest of the conspirators at the Mermaid" depicts how vigilance prevailed over treachery—testimony to parliament's resilience against internal threats. In 1653, Cromwell addressed the Long Parliament—a defining moment where he seized control—ushering in a new era while ensuring parliamentary principles remained intact. An engraving by Punch captures History Re-viewed: The execution of King Charles I.
