The Restoration

When Charles II crossed the Channel to return to
England in 1660, he took up the throne that had been
vacant since his father was executed.
![Page 3: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Charles knew he had to be careful not to disturb Parliament too much, so he was never a strong,
effective ruler.
![Page 4: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Charles II had a French mother, Henrietta Maria,
the sister of Louis XIII.
Charles admired French taste and
was very cosmopolitan in
his outlook.
![Page 5: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Charles had numerous mistresses and illegitimate children who
would grow up and meddle with the government
![Page 6: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
London was a “swinging” place
during the restoration.
Though it had a sizeable Puritan
population, Theaters were re-opened and
lively parties ensued. Women
were allowed to be actresses—no
longer did young men take that role.
![Page 7: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Trade continued to grow, and it can be safe to say that England
ships dominated the traffic in the English Channel.
![Page 8: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Charles II, having spent
years in France, tended to be pro-Catholic. He married a Portuguese Princess.
Though he grew to love her,
they never had an heir. It was just a matter of
time before religion became
an issue.
![Page 9: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To discuss Charles II’s reign we must examine his religious leanings and his
relationships with other countries. Let’s examine the English/Dutch Wars
first.
![Page 10: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Dutch -English Conflicts.
![Page 11: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The First Dutch War (1652-1654) actually occurred during
Cromwell’s time. Parliament had passed the Navigation Acts which
required that all ships in the English Channel salute English Warship. The Acts also placed
limits on goods entering England. The Acts precipitated conflicts with
the Dutch.
![Page 12: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The first Dutch War ends when their commander is killed. The
English are victorious.
![Page 14: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Second Dutch War begins in 1664. Charles II is now on the throne. It also
began over trade conflicts—in the colonies, the Dutch were underselling the English in the slave trade. And in
America, the English take New Amsterdam (New York) from the
Dutch.Start spreading the news, New York is ours!
![Page 15: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Charles’ brother, James, the Duke
of York commands the navy and wins
a major battle against the Dutch at Lowestoft. But
the next battle rages for four days and the
English lose 5,000 men. The English
continue with more naval victories.
![Page 16: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Despite these victories—England is hit by two disasters
which weaken England and distract the King.
The Plague-and-
The Great Fire of London
![Page 17: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
An outbreak of the Bubonic Plague begins in London in 1656 and kills
thousands
![Page 18: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
![Page 19: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Historical Side note: during this time, a student, Isaac
Newton, retreats to the countryside to escape the
plague
While there, he lays down the laws of the universe: gravity, force, action,
and develops calculus
![Page 20: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A year later, almost all of London is burned to the ground . This was the
Great Fire 1666.
![Page 21: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Dutch take
advantage of this event.
They harass and burn English
ships, and, at one point,
move up the Thames
River towards London.
![Page 24: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The second Dutch War ends with the Treaty of Breda in July of 1667.
![Page 25: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Third Dutch War (1662-1674). This is the most interesting of the
three wars, because it now involves two other major players who have emerged as leaders of
their countries:
![Page 26: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Charles is related to both of these kings—he is first cousin
to Louis XIV and uncle to William III!
![Page 27: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Charles signs a secret treaty with France (1670) and agrees to support France in its war
against the Dutch. In exchange,
Charles will receive millions of dollars.
![Page 28: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This third Dutch war
begins 1672, when the English
support the French in their
war against the Dutch—
the Dutch are only saved when they break the dikes and flood the country around
Amsterdam
![Page 29: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But the Dutch, the underdogs, manage some victories. De Ruyter is the great naval commander. He defeats the English and French in
numerous sea battles.
![Page 30: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Still, the Dutch are left to fight off both of these great powers. This
time, the Spanish come to the rescue—they form an alliance with
the Dutch to withstand the English/French alliance.
This war ends with the Treaty of Breda
![Page 31: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The last Dutch War ends in 1674, but with the end of the Dutch wars—we must go immediately to England and
follow events there.
![Page 32: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
James, Charles’ brother, converts to Catholicism.
Charles shows that he favors Catholicism by loosening
restrictions on dissenters (as Catholics were known).
Now let us turn to political affairs during this time…
![Page 33: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In 1673, Parliament retaliates by passing the Test Act, which
requires all those who are government officials must take the communion (sacrament) of
the Church of England.
![Page 34: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Therefore—it is a test of whether you are Catholic or Protestant.
Many Catholics didn’t want to take the communion—therefore, this “Test” excluded Catholics from
holding public office.
![Page 35: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
There were much plotting underway to support both sides—an Anglican priest
named Titus Oakes said that there was a Popish (Catholic) Plot to turn England Catholic.
Many men were executed under false witness—this
undermines the King.
![Page 36: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
No doubt, Charles II was under Catholic influence. And he never
had a legitimate son with Catherine of Portugal, despite
fathering many sons out of wedlock.
![Page 37: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The big problem, however, was his brother James II. He was a known
Catholic. He had married Anne Hyde and had two daughters. At least those
daughters were Protestant. But England did not want another Catholic
King!
![Page 38: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Therefore, many in Parliament came up with the idea to
“exclude” James from the line of succession, and support his
Protestant daughters. These were called Whigs.
The Tories supported the King.
![Page 39: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Charles II died in 1688 after a brief illness. He actually converted to
Catholicism on his deathbed! His brother—his Catholic brother—became
King! King James II.
![Page 40: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Let’s get the succession right:
James I Charles I (executed)Charles II and James II (both
brothers)(Charles dies without heir—throne
goes to his brother, James, a Catholic)
Mary and Anne (both Protestant)
![Page 41: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
James liberalized laws against Catholics. Parliament would have none of this. So James began to go back to the pre-civil war idea
that a King could make or unmake laws. This was most unpopular. England would not have another “divine right” monarch dictating
terms.
![Page 42: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Hadn’t they already executed a King over
this issue?
![Page 43: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
James had only been on the throne for two years when another huge complication
developed. You see, after Anne Hyde died,
leaving two daughters (who were raised Protestant), James had married a Catholic. She
became pregnant shortly thereafter-- Breaking News—
a son is born to James II!
![Page 44: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A son! Never had the arrival of a baby shook England than the birth of that son. So their Catholic King now had a Catholic son who would
take precedent over his half-sisters.
![Page 45: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
That was too much—and Parliament unites to
bypass both James II and his son, and
offer the throne to
Mary, James’ Protestant daughter.
![Page 46: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mary, at the time, was not living in England. She was now married to
William of Holland, or known as William of Orange (for his family’s
ruling house).
![Page 47: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
William and Mary were first cousins: James I was Mary’s
father, and his sister, Mary Stuart,
was William III’s mother. In fact, William’s mother
had died of smallpox when she went to see her brother’s
coronation when he returned to England
as Charles I.
![Page 48: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Mary is invited with her husband, William, to be co-rulers of England.
Both William and Mary are grandchildren of the executed
Charles I, so they technically both have claims on the throne.
![Page 49: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
William lands with his army in England and moves toward
London
![Page 50: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
James II is forced into exile in France with his family—insisting
he will return someday and his son will claim his rightful throne.
![Page 52: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
A year later, Parliament
enacts one of its most
important documents:
The English Bill of Rights. This
was the condition for them to take the throne.
![Page 53: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
And in 1701, things are made
final when the Act of Settlement says
that no King or Queen of England
can ever be Catholic, and all heirs lose their
place in the succession if they become Catholic
or marry a Catholic.
![Page 54: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The French and Irish Catholics try to put James back on the throne
immediately, but they are defeated at the Boyne River in
Ireland.
![Page 55: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Parliament persuades Scotland to merge with England and
become the United Kingdom of England and Scotland (1707)
![Page 56: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The landed classes dominated Parliament and greatly influenced
the decisions that led to this revolution.
![Page 57: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Mary died in 1604, and William ruled alone until. We will learn
about his great conflict with Louis XIV shortly.
![Page 58: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
![Page 59: The Restoration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568164ae550346895dd6bb83/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Acceptance of the Bill of Rights, the “peaceful” takeover of the throne by William and Mary,
and the idea of a limited monarchy (constitutional) without Catholic
influence is called:
THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION
