As recent events continue to demonstrate, civil wars are too often marked by atrocities against combatants and civilians.
The British Civil Wars were no exception.
Now research by Dr Ismini Pells of
the University of Oxford, has revealed how individuals narrated their
actions for public audiences, how legal mechanisms developed to bring
combatants to justice and how legal proceedings were viewed by
contemporaries.
Illustrated by cases drawn from the New Model Army's occupation of Dundee in Scotland in the 1650s.
