Episode 17 - The Levellers.
Show Notes

I speak to John Rees about the Levellers; a movement that was 200 years ahead of its time, and who advocated a more democratic outcome to the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. John is a British political activist, academic and writer and one of his books is The Leveller Revolution.

  • What were the Leveller beliefs and how did their cause develop?
  • How did Cromwell betray them?
  • John explains the Levellers' impact specifically in 1647 and 1648, and how this affected the outcome of the wars.

This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that.

To find out more about the wars, you can read various articles relating to it on my blog: http://www.allegianceofblood.com
