Summary "The Great Civil War in Lancashire (1642-1651)" by Ernest Broxap is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the Civil War as it unfolded within the specific context of Lancashire, exploring the local dynamics and events that shaped the war's trajectory in the region. Broxap aims to provide an impartial narrative that encompasses the various religious, political, and social questions that influenced the conflict, while detailing the significant figures and occurrences in Lancashire at the time. At the start of this historical narrative, the author introduces the background and prelude to the Civil War in Lancashire, highlighting the tensions and divisions within the county. Broxap notes the petitions laid before both authority figures and the rising actions taken to secure power by either side, leading to skirmishes in the area. The setting is characterized by geographical isolation, which allowed local conflicts to unfold with minimal external interference, making it particularly intriguing to study the civil strife that occurred strictly within the county's borders. Additionally, the introduction details key players and factions that contributed to the war, setting the stage for the more extensive military actions that would follow.
