Religion was major issue in the early Stuart Period. James I came from a Presbyterian background but his wife converted to Catholicism. His reign saw the Gunpowder Plot, the publishing of the Authorised Version of the Bible and the sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers.<\/p>\n
As for his son, the love of ceremonial, belief in the Divine Right of Kings and a French Catholic wife alienated Charles I from the growing Puritan party in the country. The outcome was the Civil Wars and the period of both political and religious experiment under Cromwell<\/p>\n
This course examines the twists and turns of religion in England from 1603 to 1660<\/p>\n
