Synopsis

This book explores the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance era in England and the conflicts that characterize the period, but the 'long' revolution of the seventeenth century and the era of the Stuarts is its main focus. Ever since the Norman Conquest in 1066, the English monarchy and aristocracy clashed over the level of royal authority, a power struggle that culminates in the 17th century through the reigns of Charles I and James II. This book narrates the effects of the Stuarts' attempts to revive the monarchy's absolute powers as they revive and clash with the concept of parliamentary rights and individual liberties, setting the stage for England's future revolution. The author's research examines the historical development of the English Constitution through the Puritan Revolution, the Glorious Revolution, and the era of the Hanoverians, with an analysis of the factors that led to the final decline of royal prerogatives. This study aims to shed light on the complex era that shaped Great Britain's constitutional monarchy by discussing the origins of medieval liberties, modern representative government and parliament's role as the voice of the people.
