Poul Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest has a Cavalier hero whereas John Sanders' Nicholas Pym series has a Roundhead hero so let's have a trilogy:
Vol I, Cavalier hero defeats his Roundhead enemies;
II, Roundhead hero defeats his Cavalier enemies;
III, the two heroes go head to head -
or even a Tetralogy:
IV, what happens to everyone after the Restoration -
or, indeed, the story continues:
V, there are royalists and republicans in later history down to today.
Pursuing the idea further: Vols I and II written by different authors and III a collaboration.

Kaor, Paul!
And there's also the Puritan hero created by Robert Howard, Solomon Kane. But I don't recall Howard extending the series long enough for us to know if Kane had any political views. He was set in Elizabethan times rather than the reign of Charles I, after all.
