With the king under their control, the determination of Fairfax's Army made Presbyterian parliamentarians buckle. And when Ireton presented the carefully worked Heads of Proposals to the Officers and Agitators at the Army General Council at Reading, it seemed that at last a peace agreement was within grasp.

All that was needed was the king to agree to the best peace proposals he will ever receive, so good surely it'll be in the bag.
