Supporting Home Learning in Enquiry. Paper 1, Option 1C Britain, 1625–1701: conflict, revolution and settlement.
In 1625 Britain was becoming an increasingly diverse Kingdom as a consequence of economic and social change, let alone division furthered by conflict between competing political and religious views. Such divisions were accentuated during the civil wars 1642-49. Difficulties were particularly acute when the Monarchical or Republican governance of the Kingdom came to be dominated by factions concerned in promoting a particular set of sectarian interests. Both the Stuarts and the Republicans failed to find a stable system of governance in the British Isles during the period 1625-88 able to cater for the increasing complexity of diversity of interests and views within the Kingdom. This resulted in the Glorious Revolution of 1688-1701, a political, religious and financial settlement the impact of which is subject to different interpretations by Whig and Revisionist historians. |

Theme 2. Why was there religious conflict and dissent across the period 1625-88? Whilst religion may appear as a theme to be tackled along with the political theme in shorter chronological chunks of the period 1625-88, it maybe the case that students are asked to consider religion separately across a longer period of time. In such cases it is worthy to remember that the most prominent categories appear to be the development of the Church of England, the evolution of religious radicalism (Dissenters) and the development of anti-Catholicism across the period. In studying Theme 2, students should be aware of the diversity of religious beliefs and opinions during the given period. They should understand Laud’s attempts to impose Arminian practices and beliefs, and the opposition to religious uniformity in both England and and Scotland in the period 1625-49. They should be aware of changes imposed on Anglicanism during the Commonwealth and Protectorate. They should understand the extent of religious radicalism during republican rule along with anti-Catholicism in the period 1649-60. They should be aware of Anglican dominance under Charles II. Detailed knowledge of laws against dissenters during the Restoration is not required, but students should be aware of the extent of persecution and its effects during these years. They should understand the significance of Catholic influence over the Stuart monarchs during the Restoration period to 1688.
