Hull the game changer of English History

Hull the city that changed English history time and time again 

Now I admit this may sound like a very bold claim but bear with me will I back it up.  
For a start two of England's most historical significant building are in Hull old town the Beverley Gate and The old White Hart. Both where critical in sparking of the English civil war that lead to the only time in English history where:
  • We Executed a reigning monarch  Charles 1st
  • And the only time in English history we where a parliamentary state (Not Democracy Cromwell turned into the only English Dictator)(In fact it  and he became so hated that we re installed the killed monarchs son Charles 2nd on the throne)
But How did we spark all this off it was simple Charles the 1st visited Hull to see his Royal garrison and armoury that was based in Hull. The city leader who where parliamentarians meet in the plotting room in the  Old White Hart and decided to shut the king out at Beverly gate. 

  • Or as a side note our role in ending slavery
  • Etc
