Context:
England entered the period known as the English Interregnum or the English Commonwealth, and the country was a de facto republic, led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell defeated Charles at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe. Cromwell became virtual dictator of England, Scotland and Ireland. Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands.
@oristarA,
Or 'third OF September....'
@talk72000,
I agree, it's also important to note the difference between the way the UK and the USA denote dates. In the UK we denote day month year, so it would be Third of September 1651 or 03/09/1651. In the USA it's month day year, so it would be September third 1651 or 09/03/1651.
