He was an author of religious books, an MP and a senior political figure in the republican and Cromwellian regimes. This is the first book to examine Skippons career, which is used to shed new light on historical debates surrounding the Civil Wars and understand how military events of this period impacted upon broader political, social and cultural themes.

For Tom
Like all the best things that seemed like a good idea at the time, the original concept for this book emerged from a conversation in a bar. The bar in question was the sutling room of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC). Skippon commanded the Artillery Company (as it was then known) from 1639 to 1645 and from 1655 to 1660, and I am extremely grateful for the support I have received towards my research into Skippon from the Company. I am indebted to the Court of Assistants, especially the Museum and Treasures Committee, for their generous contribution towards my university fees during my PhD studies, from which this book has evolved. The HAC archivist, Justine Taylor, and Dr Kirsty Bennett of the HACs Cardew-Rendle Biographical Directory Project have both given me much encouragement along the way. I am also indebted to Dr David Trim for responding enthusiastically to my proposal for this book and for the assistance that he and Max Novick at Routledge have given me in guiding this project to completion. My thanks too for the improvements upon earlier drafts suggested by the anonymous reviewers.
Whilst writing this book, I have accumulated a great number of debts of assistance from many people. Dr David Smith guided me through my doctoral research with unremitting patience and good humour, whilst I am extremely grateful for the invaluable advice and assistance I have received from Professor John Morrill, Professor Jonathan Barry and Professor Andrew Hopper during the transformation of that research into the present book. Many scholars have kindly shared aspects of their research relating to Skippon with me, and they have been acknowledged at the appropriate places throughout the notes accompanying the text. However, I would particularly like to record my gratitude to Tim Wales for imparting his seemingly bottomless knowledge of the seventeenth century and to Professor Ian Gentles for reading through and commenting on the manuscript of this book.
I have been fortunate to receive funds towards research expenses from the Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge and from the School of History, Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester, which has enabled me to visit overseas archives. My thanks are also due to John Gibson and Dr Eric Gruber von Arni for their extraordinarily kind donations of books. I have benefitted from the assistance of the staff at numerous archives and libraries, including the Bodleian Library, British Library, the London Metropolitan Archives, the Nationaal Archief in The Hague, the National Archives, Norfolk Record Office, Society of Antiquaries, Statens Archiver in Copenhagen and the Suffolk Record Office at Bury St Edmunds. I would like to mention my particular thanks to Gerhard Nestler at the Stadtarchiv Frankenthal, Ton Reichgelt and Elise van der Heijden at the Archief Eemland in Amersfoort, and all the staff at the Stadsarchief Breda.
It would be impossible to thank individually all my friends, who have provided much-welcomed distractions over the course of my writing this book, but they know who they are. Amongst my family, I must thank my dad Ian for leading me if more by accident than by design to the location of Skippons Bible. Finally, my most heartfelt thanks are for my husband Tom Broadhurst, who has now visited more Skippon-related sites than he probably cares to think about and, thanks to my own obsession with the subject, now knows more about the seventeenth century than he ever thought was normal. By way of minor compensation, this book is dedicated to him.
