Tudor-Stuart England, 1485-1714 A.D. Lecture by Dr. Lizabeth Johnson | OLLI a...UNM Continuing Education
Between the long-lasting popularity of the works of Shakespeare to the more recent popularity of T.V. and film dramas about the Tudor and Stuart monarchs of England, the Tudor-Stuart period in English history is one of the most well-known eras in English history. Beginning with the accession of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, in 1485 and ending with the death of Anne, the last Stuart queen, in 1714, this roughly 230-year period in English history includes a number of notable and even infamous events, such as the English Reformation, the attack of the Spanish Armada, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the unification of England and Scotland. It was also during this period that England started down the path that would lead to the British Empire, which would encompass lands as far flung as the Americas, Australia, India, China, Africa, and the Middle East. With the creation of the British Empire, English/British culture began to spread out to all these regions of the world, to the ultimate effect that a majority of the modern world still views the English language as a common tongue. We'll focus on the political history of this period as well as the social and cultural aspects of that history, with a particular emphasis on how these important events (and more!) shaped England, the British Empire, and the world.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Role of Religion
• People were still very devoted to the church in the
1700s and attended regularly.
• Most of England was Protestant – any Christian not
belonging to the Roman Catholic or Orthodox
Eastern Church.
• The official church was the Church of England
(Anglican Church) with the king as its head.
• The Church decided how services were to be
conducted in the country, supported by taxes, and
had very elaborate ceremonies and buildings.
• Within the Protestants, there were many different
groups with diff ways of worshipping and diff
interpretations of the Bible.
3. Magna Carta
• Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally
"Great Paper"), also known as Magna Carta
Libertatum, is an English 1215 charter which
limited the power of English Monarchs,
specifically King John, from absolute rule.
• Magna Carta required the king to renounce
certain rights and respect certain legal
procedures, and to accept that the will of the king
could be bound by law.
• Magna Carta is widely considered to be the first
step in a long historical process leading to the
rule of constitutional law.
4. The eaRly STuaRTS
• James VI of Scotland became king when Elizabeth I
died in 1603, and became James I of England.
• James was a Stuart – they disliked the democratic
traditions of England and preferred to rule as
absolute monarchs which was unpopular.
• The idea of the Divine Right of Kings evolved in
Europe during the Middle Ages. The theory claimed
that kings were answerable only to God and it was
therefore sinful for their subjects to resist them.
6. James I
•James I was born in 1566 to Mary Queen
of Scots and her second husband, Henry
Stewart, Lord Darnley.
•Mary Queen of Scots and Henry Stewart
were grandchildren of Margaret Tudor.
•James ascended the Scottish throne upon
the abdication of his mother in 1567, but
Scotland was ruled by regent until James
reached his majority.
•He married Anne of Denmark in 1589, who
bore him three sons and four daughters:
Henry, Elizabeth, Margaret, Charles,
Robert, Mary and Sophia.
•He was named successor to the English
throne by his cousin, Elizabeth I and
ascended that throne in 1603.
•James died of a stroke in 1625 after ruling
Scotland for 58 years and England for 22

9. Guy Fawkes
• One of 13 who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot
in 1605.
• Tried to assassinate James I and replace him
with a Catholic monarch.
• Guy Fawkes Night in England commemorates the
failed attempt by burning his effigy on November
5th.
10. James I
• Make a Mindmap from p.29-30 that deal with
James’ character and actions while King of
England.
•Paste the portrait in the middle of a page in
your notebook.
12. Charles I
• Charles was born in Dunfermline, the son of James I
and Anne of Denmark, was born in 1600.
• He was made the Duke of York at the age of five and
the Prince of Wales in 1616.
• When James I died in 1625, he became king.
• Charles married Henrietta Maria, the fifteen-year-old
daughter of Henri IV of France. As Henrietta Maria
was a Roman Catholic, this marriage was not very
popular with the English people. The Puritans were
particularly unhappy when they heard that the king
had promised that Henrietta Maria would be allowed
to practise her religion freely and would have the
responsibility for the upbringing of their children until
they reached the age of 13.
13. • France At this time King Louis XIII was involved in
a civil war against the Protestants (Huguenots) in
France.
• Parliament wanted to help the Huguenots but
Charles refused as he did not want to upset his
wife or brother-in-law. Eventually it was agreed to
send a fleet of eight ships to.
• However, at the last moment Charles sent orders
that the men should fight for, rather than against,
Louis XIII.
• The captains and crews refused to accept these
orders and fought against the French.
14. • Parliament was very angry with Charles for
supporting Louis XIII. When he asked for taxes of
£1,000,000 they only gave him £150,000. They
also asked Charles to sack his chief minister,
George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, as they
thought he was guilty of giving the king bad
advice. Charles refused and instead dissolved
Parliament.

The FighT WiTh
ParliamenT
Charles’ real difficulties came about because he
constantly needed money to support his
extravagant lifestyle, which he had to go to
parliament to get it.
Parliament would only agree to Charles’ request if
he agreed to respect its wishes. – he usually
refused.
He tried to raise money without parliament:
A fee called ship money –
Fees known as tunnage & poundage –
Billeted his soldiers –
Sold noble titles
Used the secret Court of Star Chamber –
16. • Charles recalled parliament in 1628 hoping to get
more money
• Parliament told the king it would grant no money until
he ceased his illegal activities and until he signed a
new charter called the “Petition of Rights”.
• Charles dissolved parliament again, and resolved to
rule without it.
• When the Duke of Buckingham was assassinated,
Charles asked Lord Strafford and Archbishop Laud
for help.
• Why were they unpopular also?
17. William Prynne
Led a series of attacks on the
church policies of the
government, and on the lax
morals prevalent at Court.
Being, like many Puritans, he
strongly opposed stage
plays, .He was tried in the
Star Chamber in 1633 and
sentenced to imprisonment
and the removal of part of his
ears.
18. CourT oF STar
Chamber
• The Court evolved from meetings of the king's royal
council, with its roots going back to the medieval
period. The court only became unusually powerful
during the reign of Henry VII of England, when in
1487 the court became a separate judicial body from
the king's council with a mandate to hear petitions of
redress.
• The court was set up to ensure the fair enforcement
of laws against prominent people, those so powerful
that ordinary courts could never convict them of their
crimes and other shenanigans.
19. Star Chamber Under
CharleS
• by the time of Charles I of England it had become
synonymous with misuse and abuse of power by the
king and his circle. James I of England and his son
Charles used the court to examine cases of sedition,
which meant that the court could be used to
suppress opposition to royal policies. It came to be
used to try nobles too powerful to be brought to trial
in the lower courts.
• Court sessions were held in secret, with no
indictments, no right of appeal, no juries, and no
witnesses. Evidence was presented in writing.
Charles I used the Court of Star Chamber as a sort
of Parliamentary substitute during the Eleven Years
Tyranny when he refused to call Parliament.
20. Civil War

•
•
What is a Civil War?
People within a country fight each other.
Which two sides were involved in 1642? (p.35)
King Charles I and his supporters called “Royalists”
or “Cavaliers”, who came from noble families and
were used to fighting and riding. Charles also had
experienced commanders, such as his dashing
nephew Prince Rupert, who inspired his troops.
• Parliament’s troops were local militia – farmers and
townspeople with almost no military experience.
Parliament controlled the navy, and the richest part
of the country (the south and London).
21. • Unless Charles won the war in the early stages, he
was doomed.
• Parliament made an alliance with the Scots and
began to build a more modern army.
• The leader of the “New Model Army” was Oliver
Cromwell, a Puritan who believed absolutely in
parliament’s cause.
• The New Model Army defeated the Royalists at 2
important battles, Marston Moor and Naseby.
• Charles was forced to flee to Scotland, where he was
made prisoner and handed over to parliament.
• What were the views of the Presbyterians and the
Puritans? (p. 36)
22. the triUmph of
parliament ?
• The execution of Charles I did not make England a
republic.
• Parliament sent an army under him to end the
Royalist threat in Ireland and Scotland.
• Eventually Oliver Cromwell as leader of the army
took control of England because parliament was
unable to govern effectively.
• He became the Lord Protector (military dictator) of
England.
• Cromwell became like the king he helped overthrow.
• Blue Laws outlawed Christmas, sports, and others.
23. the reStoration
• After Cromwell’s death in 1658, the Long Parliament
was recalled to prevent another civil war.
• General Monk ordered parliament to dissolve and
call an election for a new one.
• The new parliament decided to restore the monarchy
and invited Charles II to become king of England,
which was a very popular decision. Why? (p.44)
• Parliament insisted that the king rule as a
constitutional monarchy, with his powers set out by
parliament.
• How did Charles and the parliament clash? (p.46)
