Well Hill was a social historian more interested in ideology and mentalite than in "event" or "personage." Hill is also a classic (ie: seminal) work.

check out the "primary source collections" part of the article, particularly this one, which is pretty cheap on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Stuart-Constitution-1603-1688-Documents-Commentary/dp/0521313279/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464313253&sr=8-2&keywords=stuart+constitution
also found a book on the Royalist war effort which would probably talk about their beliefs/perspective.
Hutton, Ronald. The Royalist War Effort, 1642–1646. 2d ed. London: Routledge, 1999.
>A valuable and engaging study of the army of the losing side, exploring its organization, logistical planning, and leadership as well as its local contexts. Incorporates revisionist positions in its larger analysis, and includes an updated introduction in the second edition.

also, Clarendon, a royalist who served as minister to Charles II after the restoration of 1660, wrote a famous history of the period, with a royalist take no doubt.
