WI King Charles the 1st, when he marched into the House of Commons to arrest 5 Members of Parliment and found they had escaped, had arrested the other MPs instead. Those on the side of the King are set free within hours or days, the rest fill the cells of the Tower of London. What happens next? Can the five MPs who escaped start a civil war?
 
London rises against King Charles.

Did the king bring enough men to arrest the whole of Commons? I thought he only brought a handful of guards.
