Rename

[edit]

Out of the now closed AfD discussion the following suggestions for names have been made with the aims of removing any ambiguity: "List of civil wars in England" and "List of civil wars in Britain". Ifeel I should add "List of civil wars and rebellions in England/Britain", as the list already contains the Monmouth Rebellion, which I think pretty obviously not a civil war, but if we go for that it will be a much longer list. Views and other suggestions are welcome.--SabreBD (talk) 20:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wales

[edit]

The inclusion of the conquest of Wales by Edward is incorrect and the other Welsh entries are very questionable given the lack of Scottish wars in this list (including the 45') when England and Scotland were in a unitary state and the Scottish army invaded England. I suggest all Welsh wars are removed as wars between the English and the Welsh go back to Anglo-Saxon times and are not usually considered civil wars any more than the war of 1812 is seen as a civil war. -- PBS (talk) 09:55, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1688

[edit]

Why isn't the Glorious Revolution included under its own heading?Shtove (talk) 14:24, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was not a civil war. -- PBS (talk) 19:11, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
