1. Ricerca Inglese 1603
Queen Elizabeth I of England dies on March 24; the funeral took place on April 28 in
Westminster Abbey. The son of Queen of Scotland Mary Stuart, James VI of Scotland,
is named to the succession, who will join the crowns of Scotland and England.
Becoming king of England with the name of James I, he thus placed the Stuart dynasty
on the English throne. The Nine Years War ended on March 31, through the
annihilation of the Irish rebellion, the surrender of Hugh O'Neill (2nd Earl of Tyrone)
and the enactment of the Treaty of Mellifront. Two more episodes occur, but without a
date. The first is the Millennial Petition, through which the Puritans ask the king for
tolerance for them and the reform of Anglicanism. The second episodeis the black
plague epidemic.
