We had the Civil War between the forces of King Charles I (cavaliers) and parliament (roundheads), which determined the death of an absolute monarchy; one in which the King has total authority.
Eventually, the Parliament forces prevailed and deposed the King, beheading him in 1649. From then on, England was a republic, under the authority of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
His successor was not of the same calibre, and in 1660 the monarchy was restored under Charles I's son Charles II - with a much reduced authority, and answerability to Parliament.

It depends on whether you're talking about the Civil Wars or the Revolution of 1688. The Civil Wars lasted from 1642-1660, Oliver Cromwell being the Lord Protector from 1649-1659. He died in 1659 and his son Richard became Lord Protector, but was unable to hold the government together, so Parliament invited Charles II back in 1660. That ended the first phase. The second phase culminated in 1688 when William and Mary were invited to take the throne after James II was forced off the throne.

The English Civil War was a series of wars between the forces of the English Parliament (led by Oliver Cromwell) and the royalists supporting King Charles I.
