In this talk, Henry Reece explores the story of the English republic’s downfall. Questioning the accepted version of events, Reece argues that the restoration of the monarchy was far from inevitable—and that the republican regime could have survived long term.

He read history at Bristol University and did his D.Phil. at St John’s College, Oxford. He is the author of The Army in Cromwellian England 1649–1660 and The Fall: The Last Days of the English Republic.
