The English Civil War
2002 · TV series · documentary · 50 min episodes · 1 season
Created by Chris Gormlie
It was a time of great bitterness and hatred in Britain - a war that set father against son and brother against brother. The breakdown in relations between a Parliament with a strong purpose and a King who believed in his divine right to rule, set the scene for a series of brutal battles that were truly a struggle for the soul of a nation. The outcome of the English Civil War shaped the course of the nation's history, and laid the foundations of the country as it is today.

Sounds like a very interesting book - I hadn’t heard/read much about the regicides who successfully evaded capture before as it’s something of a very minor subplot in the overall story of the civil war.
There’s a very good documentary series on the English Civil War called ‘The English Civil War’ from 2005 which it looks like is available on YouTube.
The episode on the trial of the regicides (called The Trial of the King Killers) who were apprehended in England is well worth watching.
