Dae modern study of he early Stuart Parliaments began with Professor Gardiner's monumental ten volume History of England from the Accession of James I. to the Outbreak of the Civil War. Writing in the late 19th century, Professor Gardiner viewed the political and religious events of this period as leading inevitably to the Puritan Revolution. However, he saw little value in examining the effects of the broader social and economic aspects of the period on England's political life* It was these social and economic aspects that Professor Neale, working on Elizabethan Parliaments, and Professor Namier, working on 18th century Parliaments, brought into sharp focus. They demonstrated the necessity of analyzing the parliamentary elections and the composition of the House of Commons if one was to understand the actions of any one Parliament. New kinds of evidence now came under the scrutiny of the historian and the old kinds were sought out more eagerly. ii The writing of parliamentary history began anew* It was with this new approach in mind that I began this study of the Parliament of 1625* All spelling in the quotations have been modernized* In the preparation of this study I incurred many obligations which I would like to acknowledge here* Ity researches in England were facilitated by generous assistance from The Ohio State University* I am also grateful to the staffs of the Public Record Office, the British Museum, the Institute of Historical Research, John fylands Library, the House of Lords Record Office, and The Ohio State University Library who have furnished me with much needed aid and innumerable courtesies. I should also like to thank the Earl of St. Germans for permission to use the papers of Sir John ELiot in his possession* Special gratitude I owe to Professor Clayton Roberts whose guidance and insights has furnished me with invaluable guideposts* Finally, I wish to thank my friend Valdimir Steffel for commenting on the first five chapters, and iqy wife Lyn and son Gregoxy for their endless patience and encouragement* Special thanks also to lyn for typing the dissertation* iii VITA.

Gardiner (ed.). Debates in the House of Commons in 1625 (Camden Society, 1873), VI, 9* 1 his accession had been greeted on all sides with exclamations of joy. "All fears and sorrowes are swallowed up in joy of so hopeful a successor", remarked one contemporary.2 Even Sir John ELiot, the prominent parliamentarian, rejoiced; "a new spirit of life and comfort possessed all men as if the old Genius of the Kingdom, having with Endymion slept an age, were now awakened again. Most Englishmen who expressed such feelings probably based them upon sheer speculation, for little was known of the new King who, unlike his father, was withdrawn, had few friends, and preferred silence to talk. One thing was certain, he would be a welcome change from James. Possessing a dignified carriage, he cut a more regal figure than James I; and popular rumor portrayed him as diligent in the conduct of his private and public affairs, frugal in his expenditures, and zealous in the profession of his religion. But the principal reason for the joy expressed at his accession lay in the fact that since 1623 he had been a leading proponent of a war with Spain. Charles's actions in the first weeks of his reign only seemed to confirm these 2Sir Henry Ellis (ed.), Original Letters Illustratiye__of English History. 2d series (London, 1827), III, 244. 3sir John ELiot, Negotium Posterorum (1881), I, ^1. rumors. It assuredly appeared that "God hath sent him over this ii Kingdom as a blessing." King James "of Blessed and Glorious memory" had died at his favorite hunting lodge, Theobalds, on March 27, and his son wasted no time in taking up the reins of government. Arriving at St. Jame3 Palace on the following day, Charles ordered the Lord Keeper, Bishop John Williams, to continue using the old Great Seal until a new one could be designed, and called for the Privy Councillors of his father to be sworn in as his own. Sir Humphrey May, the talented Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was the only addition to the old council, while two Catholic lords, Wotton and Baltimore were dismissed. The Council met this same day to authorize the issuance of new commissions and patents to all Crown officials, and to make preparations for informing the world of James't death, for burying the old King, and for the Coronation.-^ There was widespread hope, at least in Court circles and possibly in all political circles, that Charles would rule ^H.

But, if this were so, what did the future hold for James's favorite, Qeorge Villiers, Duke of Buckingham? Many men did ponder Buckingham's fate, fondly recalling the early disagreements he had had with Charles, but the King's actions immediately made it apparent that the Duke's position and power were not to be curtailed.

  • The Lies of the Regicides? Charles I's Judges at the Restoration
    THE LIES OF THE REGICIDES? CHARLES I’S JUDGES AT THE RESTORATION By Dr Jason Peacey Those involved in the trial of Charles I, and who were still living in 1660, found themselves marked men. Vilified in public and in print, they faced choices about how to behave, and how to respond to the probability that they would be punished by the king or parliament. Some fled, and some of these lived out their days in relative safety, although others lived troubled lives, either because of the threat of violence or of capture, and some clearly lived in obscurity and sought to cover their tracks and assume new identities. Some were eventually caught, and three were brought back to England, tried, sentenced and executed. Others surrendered under the terms of a June 1660 proclamation, either in the hope of securing pardon or of mitigating their guilt, although it was always clear that their fate depended upon the attitude of MPs, who were given the power to determine who should be punished and who should be pardoned. As it turned out, MPs proved more vindictive than the king, resulting in the trial of twenty-nine men in October 1660, twenty-seven of whom pleaded guilty. There followed a bloody week of hangings, drawings and quarterings, when ‘the stench of their burnt bowels had so putrefied the air as the inhabitants thereabouts petitioned His Majesty there might be no more executed in that place’.1 My aim here is to explore how some of those associated with the king’s trial responded to the Restoration, not least because the fate of the regicides has received considerably less attention than that of Charles I, and because most attention has been paid to the attitude and grizzly fate of those radical and defiant king-killers who expressed little remorse.2 And my purpose is to suggest that existing treatments of the regicides focus too heavily upon a small group of living and dead men, from Oliver Cromwell to Thomas Harrison.

Earle August 2018 Accepted by: Dr. Caroline Dunn, Committee Chair Dr. Alan Grubb Dr. Lee Morrissey ABSTRACT The abrupt legislative destruction of the Court of Star Chamber in the summer of 1641 is generally understood as a reaction against the perceived abuses of prerogative government during the decade of Charles I’s personal rule. The conception of the court as an ‘extra-legal’ tribunal (or as a legitimate court that had exceeded its jurisdictional mandate) emerges from the constitutional debate about the limits of executive authority that played out over in Parliament, in the press, in the pulpit, in the courts, and on the battlefields of seventeenth-century England.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.
