tsi 78.The Execution of Charles I.mp3

Money had to be found for the war and taxes were high. By the end of 1648 all was over. Cromwell was dictator. The Royalist had been crushed. The army needed payment. Agreement with the King was not forthcoming in 1647 he had escaped to the Isle of Wight at Carisbrooke. In November 1648 the army went to Carisbrooke and brought the King back to the mainland. Seven days later a detachment led by Colonel Thomas Pride locked Parliament stopping all but about 60 members, radical Independents, sitting in the Commons. In January 1649 Charles I was brought before a High Court to account for the blood he had shed and the mischief he had done against the Lord's cause. Charles refused to recognize the court. He refused to speak in his own defence but it would have made little difference. It was snowing when Charles Stuart was beheaded in front of the Banqueting House which Inigo Jones had built.

tsi 76 .The Rise and Rise of Oliver Cromwell.mp3

Some Kings lost their heads but only Charles I lost the monarchy. Charles I raised his royal standard in Nottingham and declared war in 1642. The first major battle of the English Civil War took place on 23rd October 1642 at Edgehill in Warwickshire. It was a draw. In 1643 the war became more general. The ports, towns and manufacturing centre tended to support Parliament, Old England supported Charles. The North and the West supported the King, especially when Henrietta Maria arrived in Yorkshire from Holland. On 20th September the armies clashed again at Newbury, Berkshire. The king finally withdrew. Things looked hopeful for the King as the Scots invaded England. They demanded the imposition of Presbyterianism throughout England; a share in the government; and the maintenance of the monarchy. Parliament would not accept these terms and the Civil War continued. On 2nd July 1644 the bloodiest battle of the Civil War took place at Marston Moor it was a disaster for the Royalists. The two armies met again at Newbury. Cromwell was convinced his army needed reorganizing, his attack on the Earl of Manchester, the army's leader led to Sir Thomas Fairfax taking over with instructions to form the New Model Army.

tsi 72. Charles I and the Right of an Englishman.mp3

At the age of 25, Charles I assumes the throne and soon finds himself at loggerheads with an increasingly restless Parliament. Charles I was 25 when he became King of England in 1625. Towards the end of his father's reign he virtually ruled with George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham. It was Buckingham who arranged his marriage to Henrietta Maria of France, whom the King adored. England faced a political and religious crisis. Parliament was becoming increasingly powerful in foreign policy, the levying of taxes and in general affairs. One of the first things Parliament set out to do when Charles I came to the throne was get rid of Buckingham. He had many enemies and was generally distrusted. Parliament blocked the supply of money to the King and impeached Buckingham. Charles I was outraged and dissolved Parliament. Both Parliament and the King wanted to go to war to defend the Huguenots, or more importantly the Protestant faith. Parliament offered Charles I subsidies and the Petition of Right which he finally accepted. Parliament once again demanded Buckingham's resignation. Charles once again dismissed the Houses. Buckingham led the King's forces against La Rochelle where Protestant Huguenots were besieged and rescued them. To Parliament's delight and Charles's sorrow Buckingham lost his life, assassinated by one of his own men.

In 1604 Robert Cecil negotiated peace with Spain this led to James I imprisoning Sir Walter Raleigh, one of Elizabeth's favourites. Sir Walter Raleigh was released to lead an expedition to Guiana, this failed and led to more clashes with the Spanish. On his return Raleigh was executed. James I married his daughter, Elizabeth, to the Elector Palatine of the Rhine in 1613. Charles, the Prince of Wales, tried to claim the Spanish Infanta's hand only to be faced with such demands for English Catholics' rights that he knew Parliament would not agree. George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, one of the King's favourites who succeeded Robert Cecil, suggested marriage between Charles and Henrietta Maria of France. James I became ill and died in 1625.

It is the time of James I, the gunpowder plot and religious strife James I aimed to be as fair in religious matters as possible, the English Church suited him but he was happy to tolerate Catholics as long as they did not make trouble. However in 1604 he ordered the Jesuits out of Britain. Catholic unrest led to the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Catholics were banned from living anywhere near London, from holding public or official office, and James took over two-thirds of Catholic owned lands, all Catholics were asked to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. The Puritans were also disappointed by James I but Dr John Reynolds, the leader of the Puritan delegation at the Hampton Court conference in 1604, suggested a new version of the Bible. This was finally produced by the King's printer, was known as the Authorized Version of the Bible and lasted for 300 years.

Robert Cecil supported James VI in the tense days before he was proclaimed James I of England, he became his closest adviser in the first years of his reign. James I believed in his divine right to rule but was also a democrat. He called Parliament more often than Elizabeth had though this was partly due to a financial crisis. The first Parliament of his reign was called in 1604 and sat until 1610. It was the Parliament that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up. The Parliament was dominated more and more by lawyers. In the first gathering of Parliament in James I's reign there were 467 Members in the House of Commons, many of them inexperienced. James I noted that the real problem was the gaggle of lawyers who tried to dominate everything.

tsi 68 Essex, Ireland and Sturdy Beggars.mp3

It is a time of court rivalries in the late 16th Century. In the 1590s, adventuring heroes such as Sir Walter Raleigh and the Earl of Essex vied for the Queen's favour. Essex was promoted and led a fleet to fight a new Spanish Armada in the Azores. It was a disaster, Essex was forced to leave the Court. His letters and pleas did nothing to change the Queen's mind. Then in 1599 his chance came. Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone was threatening English dominance in Ireland. Essex persuaded Elizabeth to let him go to Ireland with a large army to put an end to the rebellion. Essex's orders were to subdue Ulster and the Earl of Tyrone but Essex turned south to Leinster. He needed time to gather his forces, find sufficient packhorses and wait for the weather to improve. He wrote to the Queen, who was furious and ordered Essex not to return until he had defeated Tyrone. Essex met Tyrone and agreed to a two-week truce, he then returned to London. Angry scenes followed between Essex and Elizabeth, Essex was placed under house arrest and then in desperation plotted to overthrow the Queen which led to his execution in 1601.
