Parliament Limits the English Monarchy

“Hate it or love it the underdog's on topAnd I'm gonna shine homie until my

heart stop”- King James I

What was the goal of the monarch?

To free themselves from any restrictions that nobility or parliament would place on them.

Why do you think the Monarch clashes with Parliament in England???

Monarchs clash with Parliament

Elizabeth had no children… James Stuart – Cousin, King of Scotland. 1603 – King James I of England

England and Scotland were not united until 1707, they now shared a ruler.

Monarchs clash with Parliament

King James I

Inherited Issues: - How much power does parliament have in

governing?

James believed he had absolute authority and was not able to flatter parliament like Elizabeth.

James’s Problem

Parliament: - Reluctant to pay for his royal court and

foreign wars - James offended the Puritans of the

Parliament James= Calvinist Puritans = expected James to make reforms to

the church. James = hated to be told what to do, did

nothing except translate a bible.

James’s Problem

1625 – James I died Son – Charles I took the throne Always in need of money… Why??? War with Spain and France When Parliament refused to give money he

dissolved it.

Charles I fights Parliament

King Charles I

1628 – Charles called Parliament for more

money. They refused to sign it until he signed the

Petition of Right.

Charles I fights Parliament

Four points: Not imprison subjects without due cause. Not levy taxes without Parliament’s consent. Not house soldiers in private homes. Not impose martial law in peacetime.

See any similarities in our constitution?

Petition of Right

1642: Charles tried to arrest members of parliament. - Tried to force a prayer book on Scotland. Scots rebelled and he needed money. Parliament opposed him.

English Civil War

Explain the Thirty years war. Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II closed

Protestant churches in Bohemia. Protestants revolted which led to an eventual war.

A conflict over religion, over territory, and for power among European ruling families.

English Civil War1642- 1649

Royalist or Cavaliers Roundheads

Both sides could not get an upper hand. Puritans found victory in Oliver Cromwell. - 1646- Cromwell’s forces defeated the

Cavaliers and imprisoned the king.

1649 – Charles I was put on a trial for treason and put to death.

- How do you think he died?

English Civil War

Why would it be a big deal that Charles I was

put to death publicly? Kings had been overthrown. - Killed in battle - Assassinated - Put to death silently

No king had ever faced a public trial and public death.

Charles I death

Lords. -Invaded Ireland killing an est. 616,000. - Established a commonwealth: Republic 1653: sent home Parliament

Eventually tore up the document and ruled as

a military dictator.

Abolished theater and other activities – Sinful.

Except for Catholics.

Died 1658 People tired of military rule Elect a new parliament Parliament ask Charles II (son of Charles I) to

rule.
