Gordon Corner: The Battle of Naseby 1645. The starting point of modern democracy
January 28 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Victory for the parliamentary army at Naseby on 14th June 1645 brought about a shift in power that unleashed political, economic, military and social changes. These changes arguably propelled Britain to world hegemony over the next 100 years.
It gave birth to the parliamentary democracy from which much of the world drew inspiration. It paved the way for the freer generation and flow of capital and ideas that fostered scientific and industrial revolutions. The battle gave birth to the modern British Army and it demonstrated that without good military intelligence you are unlikely to win.
Gordon Corner was a career Naval Officer for 33 years, half at sea in frigates, destroyers and HMY Britannia. Then staff jobs, in the MOD and NATO as a communications intelligence specialist.
