Llareggub was a Royalist town and Royston Vasey was a Parliamentarian one.

Trumpton was royalist

yeah, youre right oxford was the central home of royalists and was where the king fled to. The kings support was mainly in the north (far away from london where decisions were made), whilst parliaments support lay mainly in the south, near london where people could see how sucky the king was. because of poor communication, those in the north didnt hear about this, and so still believed in divine rule and so supported the king.

hope this helps. i cant be bothered to actually think about it.

Denver and Sioux City remained neutral.

...and Royston Vasey was a Parliamentarian one.
for local parliamentarians?

Trumpton was royalist

Camberwick Green had definite pro-Cromwell leanings though.

Yes, until the massacre in any case......

true but cromwell never had the full support of parliament so you cant use him as another word for parliament i guess. he only had support by the "war party", not the peace side who wanted to negotiate with the king.

Who can forget the famed Trumpton Riots?

Cuthbert, Dibble AND Grub were lost to the fires

So would you classify Camberwick Green as pro-Royalist, or pro-Parliament then?

There is one ... and it goes on from there (depending on if you want the 1st or second )

Cuthbert, Dibble AND Grub were lost to the fires

They did manage to put out the blazes before they spread to Chigley, didn't they?

was camberwick green the place where 24000 (ish:P) people came out and stopped the kings army getting to london?

if it is, then its very much pro parliament.

Yeah, but they were down to only three and nearly lost Hugh at Chigley.

No, you're getting it confused with Ulverton.

Denver and Sioux City remained neutral.

Um... in the English civil war?

Are you claiming that they sided with the Cavaliers or the Roundheads instead?

??? I was hinting that, as far as I knew, there is no place called Sioux City in England.

The fact that the pair of them didn't come into being until some 200 years after the ECW suggests that they must have been, by default, neutral...

EDIT: if the status of Denver and Sioux City are the only things that stick in your craw with regard to this thread, then you haven't been paying sufficient attention.

IMO they hadn't been at all. To be is to exist, after all.

Oh, they existed alright, but only as potential cities.

Riiiight.

Plymouth was Parlimentarian. I used to live there and my local park was named Freedom fields after a battle between the Royalist and Parlimentarians which the Parlimentarians won. To this day Plymouth votes for Labour and the surrounding area vote for the Tories (labour supposedly being left and advocates of change).

Don't push Plymouth away as an insignificant city (as it is now), back then it was a major port and very important.

Where in Plymouth did you live?
And what do you mean, was important? It still is...honest

Still important? Where's the damn high speed rail link to it then?

I lived in Lipson and went to Eggbuckland Community College.

My Post code was PL4 8RU if you want to know precisely

Thats right.

Well, we can get to London in less than 3 hours...with a fair wind and good sails! (as long as you don't travel either in or behind a Virgin train, only beardie would buy trains from Spain that don't like sea water then run them down to the South-West...dumbarse!) :)

When did that happen?! If used to take 5+ hours!

Only if it goes via Bristol, then it still takes 5+ hours!...or its late...or its behind a Virgin train...or theres been (another) crash somewhere in the Reading-London area...or Dawlish is blocked...or...actually, thinking about it it still does take 5+ hours! :mad:

And that is why I ran all the back to London. It now only takes me 1 hour to get to central London.

Nice. I used to live in Luton a few years back. Used to take 40mins to get to St.Pancras. Damn I miss being near civilisation...

So why are you in Plymouth? The decent things there are the Art College and the Aquarium.

only takes me 50 minutes to get to Luton, Plymouth must be far, far away

Finished Uni and didn't have a job so came home, at least I don't have to pay for upkeep down here! Am looking for a new job at the mo, last 1 sucked...

I was talking by train. It takes about 1 1/2 by plane I think, but it goes via Heathrow so takes forever!
