1. Fired them
2. Then he needed them back to get $$$$ = re-hirse them

8. The English Civil War: Setting the Stage
Parliament’s Demands:
The only way that Parliament would give him money is if he signed the Petition of Right.
No false imprisonment
No taxes w/o Parliament’s consent
No housing of soldiers in homes
No martial (absolute) law in peace time
Does this work out?
NO! Charles signed it – then he IGNORED it.
Parliament then withheld money – He fired them again…

After Cromwell died, the people wanted to have a king – Charles II (Charles I’s son) took over.
He got along better with the Parliament, restoration took place in England.

12. England is in trouble: 1685 Charles II died with NO heir
James II took over (but he was Catholic – the horror!)
He soon offended Parliament and voted some Catholic friends into high office (against the law)
Parliament protested, so he fired them
His wife then had a son and the people were scared that a long line of Catholics would rule.

Parliament invited William & Mary to overthrow James II. He brought an army, James II fled the country
