Barely a mention of John Lilburne and the Levellers

[edit]

I think it is curious that there is only passing mention of Lilburne. He had a significant role, particularly in London. The Levellers altered the course of the war and impacted the attempted negotiations between Cromwell and Parliament. During 1647 the agitators changed the way the army was organised and they took action independent of the formal army command e.g. taking custody of the King. The death of Rainsborough ought to be mentioned as it set back Levellers influence in the army. The attempted mutinies at Corkbush and Burford were significant.

Is there a reason all of this is omitted? Is it felt that these were political rather than military issues and therefore not to be included in a chronology of the war? Or that they are insignificant?2A02:C7D:8A9:6700:2C51:FA48:DF20:6A32 (talk) 00:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
