Exhibition 'Tudors and Stuarts Gallery' in Hull and East Riding Museum
The English Civil war began at Hull, when the governor of the town refused to allow King Charles I to enter it and seize its arsenal. The king’s supporters placed the town under siege and visitors can relive the events of the siege by taking the roles of Royalist or Parliamentarian in an interactive game. Visitors also have the opportunity to enjoy a ‘virtual tour’ of Hull’s Citadel, built in the 1680s to defend the port and ensure the loyalty of Hull’s citizens to the Crown.
