The middle policy won lots of support, she said, ‘I will not make a window into men’s souls, there is only one Jesus Christ, and all else is a dispute over trifles.’ This decision was so important to her and England because if she would of chose the wrong choice for example make England Protestant then there would have been a religious war and the Catholics would rebel. Over all I think Elizabeth handled religion the best way she could because she made two
The English Civil War lasted from 1642 to 1649. The war was a result of a split between King Charles I and Parliament. Neither side was willing to back down over the principles that they held and civil war was the only way this disagreement could be solved. The country split into those who supported the king and those who supported Parliament – the classic ingredients for a civil war. It has been argued that Charles I was the main reason that war broke out.
Out of the eight main points of the settlement, I found that Elizabeth had rules that would please both Protestants and Catholic’s. For example one of her new laws was too be in charge of the church (pleasing Protestants), but not called ‘Head’ and was supported by bishops (pleasing Catholics). Another example of a Catholic based law was some church courts would remain. This is seen as pro-catholic because Protestants were against any form of church courts. Yet, the settlement was clearly not entirely favourable to Catholics.
His condition was so bad he was said to have not even recognized the birth of his own son, Edward, which is a very proud moment for a king in the middle ages. Henry being in this catatonic state was no fit way to rule a kingdom. This meant that being in cable to rule he would leave his kingdom in the hands of another. A good king needs to be inspirational and a strong figurehead of parliament. He is supposed to have the most control, able to keep his people in line however due to his state he was not able to accomplish any of these necessary attributions of a king, therefore this would help contribute to the civil war outbreak, as a weak character in the position of a king isn’t good.
To What Extent Were Religious Reasons Responsible for The Outbreak of Civil War in 1642? In 1642, Civil War broke out in England, soon to be one of the greatest wars in English history. A civil war is when two opposing sides from the same country fight. In this case, it was between King Charles I (called the Royalists or Roundheads) against his own Parliament (known as the Parliamentarians or Cavaliers.) There were many reasons and causes leading up to the civil war, and can usually be divided into two categories: long term reasons and short term reasons.
Year 8 Extended Learning Project (ELP) Why did Parliament win the Civil War? The King`s Royalists The year is 1642 and the bond that has existed between the King and his Parliament since the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 has been shattered. War has now descended upon the realm with brother fighting brother, fathers fighting sons, nephews fighting uncles and the King fighting Parliament. The future looks grim and uncertain for the people of the British Isles as their countries have descended into the chaos of Civil War. However one thing is certain, the victor will either be King Charles Stewart and his Royalist supporters or the men of Parliament with their supporters.
Louis XIV takes over after Mazarin’s death in 1661 The revolts alarmed the young king into believing that only a country with absolute monarchy could prevent civil war. Louis believed that his power came from God and no one should question it. This was known as "divine right". After Mazarin's death in 1661, Louis XIV ruled as an absolute monarchy However, many obstacles stood in the way of absolutism in France: Nobles had the means to raise private armies and build fortifications. The king did not have the means to raise and keep an army himself and had to rely on these nobles to defend the nation; The Huguenots, who since the 1598 Edict of Nantes by Henry IV, held the rights to bear arms and to build fortifications in certain locations.
[3] When James called his first Parliament into session, he had nothing but good intensions. He wanted to address the grievances both religious and economically, that had been accumulating since Good Queen Bess’ reign. He firmly addressed the issue of religious reform, and clearly stated that he liked the Church of England as it was, had no love of the Pope, Puritans, and Novelists. [4] The other specific grievances addressed were purvayance (the right of the monarch to buy goods and services for his household and the army at fixed prices, usually below market value), monopolies (which allowed certain court favorites sole rights to produce or market goods and services) and wardships (a practice in which heirs of landed gentlemen, who had not yet met their majority, were placed under the protection of the crown and their lives, monies and property were under crown control).

Why was there a Civil War Between King Charles I and Parliament The English civil war made a big change to the countries history. It was Charles I VS Parliament. Charles was happy with his rules but parliament weren’t. So his parliament turned against him and started the civil war. Who, what when why that’s what we want to know.
The King, however, neglected to mention this to his Parliament who became understandably confused and wary due to the carelessness of James and his lack of communication. Discussion at the Parliament then moved to domestic grievances; most importantly the issue of monopolies, which were bitterly opposed by the vast majority of Parliamentarians. Here James and the Commons worked in unison, a rare event at this time. The revival of impeachment by Coke and Cranfield to remove Bacon, who was heavily involved with monopolies, was allowed by James as he was eager to maintain the positive relations he was enjoying with his Parliament. James and the Commons
