@brnleague99 Its wasn't just Scots' Presbyterianism, but the whole of British Protestanism that felt threatened. The actions of both James and Charles destroyed Elizabeth's carefully balanced middle way. Marrying a French Catholic queen, being the grandson of Mary Queen of Scots, Laud's actions and ignoring a Parliament that was increasingly becoming influenced by the Puritans was going to piss off people from Land's End to John O'Groats

But would Britain be a democracy today if Charles' notion of royal absolutism had been allowed to prevail? I doubt it. The royals had to accept a more limited defined powe to return. Their return in turn checked the religious absolutism of the Puritans. So in the end, between these two extremes were secured British liberty. Hope I don't sound too much like an old Whig.

sic semper tyrannis. Enough said.
Yes but I also know that the Scots were mondo pissed at Charles because he tried to control their religion.

I disagree, yes he was timid, but a man named William Pyrnne had spoken against him, and his ears were cut of.
