April 1642 CE

Charles had left London headed for the North of England on March 2, 1642, when it appeared to that no agreement with Parliament over the government of the Kingdom is possible.

Both Parliament and King realize that armed conflict is inevitable, and prepare to raise forces.

Parliament has enacted a Militia Ordinance, by which it claims authority over the country's trained bands, while from his temporary capital of York, Charles rejects Parliament's Nineteen Propositions and issues Commissions of Array, directing the Lord Lieutenant of each county to raise forces for the King.
