>  30 January 1649 is the day when King Charles 1st   was beheaded and
> the Commonwealth of Oliver   Cromwell, the foundation of modern
> Parliamentary   democracy, came into effective being. It was a
> revolutionary moment and it brought onto the   historical stage
> people, ideas and movements that   went well beyond anything that
> Cromwell and  the senior leadership of the New Model Army had   in
> mind. Brian Manning in his seminal book on 1649   notes that this was
> a year when popular   mobilisations did not happen. There was no
> popular uprising to mark the Commonwealth, and   no popular protest at
> the execution of the King.  There was however an Army revolt at
> Burford, also   celebrating its anniversary this year, which was
> brutally put down by Cromwell. 1649  was also the year when Cromwell
> landed in Dublin   to initiate brutal  episodes in Ireland.
>
>  This conference will look at the liberties and   democratic
> practices  ushered in by 1649 and at those who wanted to   take them
> further.
