The English Civil War proper has become the best - known of these conflicts; it included abolishing the monarchy and executing the kingdom's monarch, Charles I, by the English parliament in 1649 . </P> <P> The history of these wars is often extended to include the uprisings and conflicts that continued through the 1650s until the English Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and sometimes to include Venner's uprising the following year . The wars were the outcome of broadly set tensions over religious and civil issues . Religious disputes centred on whether religion was to be dictated by the monarch or by choice, the conscience of the individual, with many people feeling that they ought to have freedom of religion (freedom of conscience). The related civil question was settling the extent to which the king's rule was to be constrained by parliament--in particular the right to raise taxes and armed forces without consent of the parliament . </P>
