In 1649, the [[English Civil War]] was taking place and King [[Charles I of England|Charles&nbsp;I]] was beheaded in [[Palace of Whitehall|Whitehall]], London. The conflict spilled over into Bermuda, where most of the colonists developed a strong sense of devotion to the Crown. The royalists ousted the Somers Isles Company's Governor and elected John Trimingham as their leader (see [[Governor of Bermuda]]). Bermuda's civil war was ended by militias, and dissenters were pushed to settle [[The Bahamas]] under [[William Sayle]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Forbes, Keith Archibald |title=Bermuda's History from 1500 to 1699 |website=bermuda-online.org |url=http://www.bermuda-online.org/history.htm |access-date=22 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170715004332/http://bermuda-online.org/history.htm |archive-date=15 July 2017}}</ref>

The rebellious [[cavalier|royalist]] colonies of Bermuda, Virginia, [[Barbados]] and [[Antigua]], were the subjects of [[An Act for prohibiting Trade with the Barbadoes, Virginia, Bermuda and Antego|an Act of the Rump Parliament of England]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=An Act for prohibiting Trade with the Barbadoes, Virginia, Bermuda, and Antego |date=October 1650 |website=British History Online (british-history.ac.uk) |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/acts-ordinances-interregnum/pp425-429 |url-status=live |access-date=15 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110023102/https://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/acts-ordinances-interregnum/pp425-429 |archive-date=10 January 2021}}</ref> The royalist colonies were also threatened with invasion. The Government of Bermuda eventually reached an agreement with the Parliament of England which retained the status quo in Bermuda. In 1655 fifty-four Bermudians became the first English subjects to permanently settle on the Island of [[Jamaica]], followed by a further (200) Bermudians in 1658, following [[Oliver Cromwell|Cromwell's]] [[Invasion of Jamaica]].<ref>Kennedy, Jean (1971). ″The Isle of Devils: Bermuda under the Somers Island Company 1609 – 1685.″ London: Collins. pp. 215, 266.</ref><ref>Wilkinson, Henry (1933). ″The Adventurers of Bermuda: A history of the island from its discovery until the dissolution of the Somers Island Company in 1684.″ London: Oxford University Press. pp. 300–301.</ref><ref>Jarvis, Michael J.
