History Coursework!!

Hi all. I am currently writing my history coursework and need help with sources and where to find them! both primary and secondary. It’s quite a niche topic on how far the army was responsible for the failure to find a working political settlement after charles 1 execution. My arguments are about prides purge , army relationship with individuals eg olivier and richard cromwell, Parliaments such as rump, barebones and 1st protectorate parliament, and major generals.Any help would be appreciated!
