02.53 - The New Model Army

Parliament faces a crisis as divisions in their armies come to a
head. Oliver Cromwell and Sir William Waller take aim at the earls
of Manchester and Essex. The latest attempt at peace talkes between
Charles I and the parliamentarians collapse. Calls for a clean
slate are answered by the Self-Denying Ordinance and the New Model
Ordinance. Sir Thomas Fairfax gets promoted. Check out the podcast
