On 22 August 1642, King Charles I raised his Royal Standard on a hill just outside Nottingham Castle.

This act was a formal declaration of war against Parliament and marked the beginning of the English Civil War.

The choice of Nottingham was partly due to its central location, making it strategic for military movements.

# data[].attributes.body
After Charles left, Nottingham Castle was taken over by Parliamentarian forces.

It became a defensive garrison against Royalist threats during the war.

The castle's position above the River Leen gave it strategic value, though it saw no major battles directly at the site.

In 1651, shortly after the war ended and Charles I had been executed, Parliament ordered the demolition of Nottingham Castle.

The aim was to prevent it from being used in future conflicts or uprisings.

Only the gatehouse and some walls remained after the demolition.

# data[].attributes.body
The current structure of Nottingham Castle was rebuilt in the 1670s by the Duke of Newcastle as a ducal mansion, not a fortress.

It was later converted into a museum and art gallery in the 19th century.

The site is still associated with the beginning of the Civil War and features exhibitions on this history.

With men off fighting, women managed farms, estates, shops, and markets.

In Nottingham, a market town and a center of cloth production, women likely kept local trade running, including the textile and lace industries.

August 22, 1642: King Charles I raised his royal standard near Nottingham Castle, officially declaring war on Parliament.

This act is widely regarded as the formal beginning of the English Civil War.

The king chose Nottingham because of its central location, making it a good rallying point for Royalist supporters.

# data[].attributes.body
The king's belief in the divine right of kings (that his authority came from God) was a root cause of the war.

He refused to give Parliament more control over the military and finances.

His actions in Nottingham—raising the standard and declaring war—symbolized his refusal to compromise.

Nottingham changed hands several times between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces.

Each shift in control brought:

New rules and taxes

Uncertainty about loyalty, with suspicions and punishments for those seen supporting the "wrong" side

Disruption of local government and courts

By the 1600s, Black and South Asian people were living in England, especially in port cities like London and Bristol.

Some were:

Servants or enslaved people brought by merchants, aristocrats, or sea captains.

Free individuals who worked as sailors, musicians, craftspeople, or laborers.

While small in number, they were part of English society by the time of the Civil War.
