March 1649 CE
A version of the "Agreement of the People" that had been drawn up in October 1647 for the Army Council and subsequently modified had on January 20, 1649, been presented to the House of Commons.
The Grandees in February had banned petitions to Parliament by soldiers.
Eight Leveller troopers go in March to the Commander-in-Chief of the New Model Army, Thomas Fairfax, and demand the restoration of the right to petition.
Five of them are cashiered out of the army.
