Opis

During the 17th century the British Isles were trapped in a 23-year-long state of turmoil through civil war, continued rebellion, and revolution. King Charles I wanted to instil a new uniform religious policy thoughout the British Isles, and this cause a massive uproar over the King's policies towards the diverse people in his kingdom, the English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh. No person remained unaffected in the Kingdom, and eventually King Charles I was executed and the entire system of monarcy tumbled into a short-lived republic. Eventually there was a restoration of the monarchy under King Charles II and the history of the British Isles in the 17th century remains forever marked by its tumultuous nature.
