War of the Spanish succession
1701 the War of the Spanish Succession ( 1701- 1714) began, and it soon envel-oped western Europe. For the first time in Louis's reign France went to war with inadequate finances, a poorly equipped army, and mediocre generals. The English, in contrast, had advanced weaponry ( flintlock rifles, paper cartridges, and ring bayonets) and superior tactics ( thin, maneuverable troop columns rather than the traditional deep ones). John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough ( 1650- 1722), bested Louis's soldiers in every major engagement, although French arms triumphed in Spain. After 1709 the war became a bloody stalemate.

Charles II
After negotiations with the army, Charles II ( r. 1660- 1685) returned to England amid great rejoicing. A man of considerable charm and political skill, Charles set a refresh-ing new tone after eleven years of somber Puritanism. England returned to the status quo of 1642, with a hereditary monarch, a Parliament of Lords and Commons that met only when the king summoned it, and the Anglican Church, with its bishops and prayer book, supreme in religion. The king, however, had secret Catholic sympathies and favored religious tolera-tion. He wanted to allow loyal Catholics and Puritans to worship freely. Yet ultra-royalists in Parliament between 1661 and 1665, through a series of laws known as the Clarendon Code, excluded Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, and Independents from the official religious and political life of the nation.

Louis XIV
Louis began his personal rule of France in 1661 after the death of his chief minister, the Italian Cardinal Mazarin.[3] An adherent of the concept of the divine right of kings, which advocates the divine origin of monarchical rule, Louis continued his predecessors' work of creating a centralized state governed from the capital. He sought to eliminate the remnants of feudalism persisting in parts of France and, by compelling many members of the nobility to inhabit his lavish Palace of Versailles (formerly a hunting lodge belonging to Louis's father), succeeded in pacifying the aristocracy, many members of which had participated in the Fronde rebellion during Louis's minority. By these means he became one of the most powerful French monarchs and consolidated a system of absolute monarchical rule in France that endured until the French Revolution.

By restraining the power of the nobility, he transformed France into a strong, centralized state. His chief foreign policy objective was to check the power of the Austro-Spanish Habsburg dynasty, and to ensure French dominance in the Thirty Years' War that engulfed Europe. Although he was a cardinal, he did not hesitate to make alliances with Protestant rulers

Lord protectorate
The Protectorate was the period during the Commonwealth (or, to monarchists, the Interregnum) when England (which at that time included Wales), Ireland and Scotland were governed by a Lord Protector. The Protectorate began in 1653 when, following the dissolution of the Rump Parliament and then Barebone's Parliament, Oliver Cromwell was appointed Lord Protector of the Commonwealth under the terms of the Instrument of Government. In 1659 the Protectorate Parliament was dissolved by the Committee of Safety as Richard Cromwell, who had succeeded his father as Lord Protector, was unable to keep control of the Parliament and the Army. This marked the end of the Protectorate and the start of a second period of rule by the Rump Parliament as the legislative and the Council of State as the executive.

Civil war
Two factors led finally to Parliament's victory. The first was an alliance with Scotland in 1643 that committed Parliament to a Presbyterian system of church government. The second was the reorganization of the parliamentary army under Oliver Cromwell ( 1599- 1658), a country squire of iron discipline and strong, independent religious sentiment. Cromwell and his " godly men" were willing to tolerate an established majority church, but only if it permitted Protestant dissenters to worship outside it. Defeated militarily by June 1645, for the next several years Charles tried to take advantage of divisions within Parliament,
The glorious revolution
When James II ( r. 1685- 1688) became king, he immediately demanded the repeal of the Test Act. When Parliament balked, he dissolved it and proceeded to appoint Catholics to high positions in both his court and the army. In 1687, he issued another Declaration of Indulgence suspending all religious tests and permitting free worship. In June 1688, James imprisoned seven Anglican bishops who had refused to publicize his suspension of laws against the Catholics. Each of these actions represented a direct royal attack on the local authority of nobles, landowners, the church, and other corporate bodies whose members believed they pos-sessed particular legal privileges. James not only sought to aid his fellow Roman Catholics but also to pursue absolut-ist policies similar to those of Louis XIV whom he deeply admired. The English had hoped that James would be succeeded by Mary ( r. 1689- 1694), his Protestant eldest daughter. She was the wife of William III of Orange, the leader of Euro-pean opposition to Louis XIV. But on June 20, James II's Catholic second wife gave birth to a son. There was now a Catholic male heir to the throne. The Parliamentary opposition invited William to invade England to preserve its " traditional liberties," that is, the Anglican Church and parliamentary government. William of Orange arrived with his army in November 1688 and was received with considerable popular support. James fled to France, and Parliament, in 1689, proclaimed William III and Mary II the new monarchs, thus completing the " Glorious Revolution." William and Mary, in turn, recognized a Bill of Rights that limited the powers of the monarchy

Henceforth, England's monarchs would be subject to law and would rule by the consent of Parliament, which was to be called into session every three years. The Bill of Rights also prohibited Roman Catholics from occupying the English throne. The Toleration Act of 1689 permitted worship by all Protestants and outlawed only Roman Catholics and those who denied the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. It did not, however, extend full political
The Scottish rebellion
at least within England and Scotland. In 1637, Charles and his high- church Archbishop William Laud ( 1573- 1645), against the oppo-sition of both the English Puritans and the Presbyterian Scots, tried to impose on Scotland the English episcopal system and a prayer book almost identical to the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The Scots rebelled, and Charles, with insufficient resources for war, was forced in 1640 to call Parliament. It refused even to consider funds for war until the king agreed to redress a long list of political and religious grievances. The king, in response, immediately dissolved that Parliament— hence its name, the Short Parliament ( April- May 1640). When the Scots defeated an English army at the Battle of New-burn in the summer of 1640, Charles reconvened Parliament— this time on its terms— for a long and fateful duration.

The long parliament
landowners and the merchant classes represented in Parliament had long resented the king's financial measures and paternalistic rule. The Puritans in Parliament resented his religious policies and distrusted the influence of his Roman Catholic wife. What became known as the Long Parliament ( 1640- 1660) thus acted with widespread support and general unanimity when it convened in November 1640. The House of Commons impeached both Strafford and Laud. Both were exe-cuted— Strafford in 1641, Laud in 1645. Parliament abolished the courts that had enforced royal policy and prohibited the levying of new taxes without its consent. Finally, Parliament resolved that no more than three years should elapse between its meetings and that the king could not dissolve it without its own consent. Parliament, however, was sharply divided over religion. Both moderate Puritans ( the Presbyterians) and more extreme Puritans ( the Independents) wanted to abolish bishops and the Book of Common Prayer. Yet religious conservatives in both houses of Parliament were determined to preserve the Church of England in its current form. These divisions intensified in October 1641, when Parliament was asked to raise funds for an army to suppress the rebellion in Scotland. Charles's opponents argued that he could not be trusted with an army and that Parliament should become the commander- in- chief of English armed forces. In January 1642, Charles invaded Parlia-ment, intending to arrest certain of his opponents, but they escaped. The king then

permitted this to happen. In return for this announcement ( which Charles never made), Louis XIV promised to pay Charles a substantial subsidy. In an attempt to unite the English people behind the war with Holland, and as a sign of good faith to Louis XIV, Charles issued a Declaration of Indulgence in 1672, suspending all laws against Roman Catholics and non- Anglican Protestants. Parliament refused to fund the war, however, until Charles rescinded the
