The Stuart period star with James VI of Scotland (James I of England) as monarch. James was educated by Scottish aristocrats who made sure he had a protestant education. The problem came when James I of England.

- Why did the Stuart become monarch of England?
- Charles I, biggest mistakes.
He spent so much money and did several administrative changes. Charles made several political mistakes.
Charles got married to a Catholic French Princess and the country was protestant, so the people were so worried about if the future children will protestant or catholic.
Other mistake was that he ignored a religious group called the puritans. Charles thought that this group was not dangerous but they were, and some time later the puritans controlled the parliament.
- The puritans/ Oliver Cromwell.
The puritans were a strong religious group who wanted a democratic church.
The leader was Oliver Cromwell, he didn’t know what to do with Charles I because he didn’t want to execute him.
Charles himself continued to encourage rebellion against Parliament even after he had surrendered and had been imprisoned. He was able to encourage the Scots to rebel against the Parliamentarian army. After the Scots were defeated some Puritan officers of the Parliamentarian army demanded the king's death for treason.
From 1649- 1660 Britain was a republic, but the republic was not a success.
Cromwell and his friends created a government far more severe than Charles's had been. They had got rid of the monarch y, and they now got rid of the House of Lords and the Anglican Church.
The puritans was obsessed with singing and the idea of the temptation. They thought that the dancer was dangerous, because if you dance you will enjoy so this is temptation. Their mind was to work and to pray.
Oliver Cromwell died in 1658.
- The glorious revolution.
The Glorious Revolution, as the political results of the events of 1688 were called, was completely unplanned and unprepared for. It was hardly a revolution by the ruling class.
Charles II become king, he got married to a catholic princess called Catherine of Bragonza. They had not children so his brother James II became king. He was catholic so he was obligated to get married to a protestant.
James II had got two children, Anne and Mary. The parliament made sure that they were educate in a protestant way. Anne got married to prince of Denmark and Mary to William.
James II got married again to a Italian princess and they had got a catholic boy so he was over the other two girls.
The parliament rebelled, James II was exiled and his daughter Mary became Queen.
This rebellion was called, THE GLORIOUS.
- In 1707, pact and act, what did it ratified?
In 1707 the union of Scotland and England was completed by Ac t of Parliament. From that moment both countries no longer had separate parliaments, and a new parliament of Great Britain, the new name of the state, met for the first time. Scotland, however, kept its own separate legal and judicial system, and its own separate Church.
