===Early modern period=== In the English Civil War, Chester sided with the royalist cause of King Charles I but was subdued by the Parliamentarians in 1643. The Mayor of Chester, Charles Walley, was removed from office and replaced by Alderman William Edwards. Another alderman, [[Francis Gamull]], a royalist MP and former Mayor, was ordered to surrender Dee Mills: they were to be demolished, and new mills built on city land.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hamilton |first1=William Douglas |title=Charles I β volume 514: October 1646 Pages 474β485 Calendar of State Papers Domestic: Charles I, 1645-7.
