Battle of Naseby
The Battle of Naseby, fought on June 14, 1645, during the English Civil War, was a decisive conflict between the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, and the Royalists, supporting King Charles I. The Parliamentarians' disciplined forces outmaneuvered and defeated the Royalists, resulting in a significant loss for Charles I.

It is often seen as a critical moment that contributed to the eventual establishment of a parliamentary system in England.
