5 Quick Notes: The Last Absolute Monarchs

6 Charles V: Holy Roman Emperor In the 1500s Spain gained land, this meant that Spain gained “power and influence.” Spain had an ABSOLUTE RULER, Charles V. What he controlled: –Spain –Spain’s colonies in the New World –Parts of Italy, Netherlands, and Austria –Much of Germany Charles V split his land, and retired to a monastery

7 Phillip II of Spain His dad was Charles V His dad left him Spain, and many of his other holdings Spain became very rich from their colonies in the New World, this made Phillip very wealthy and powerful. Philip was a defender of Catholicism, (he hated the Muslims and Protestants) so he sent his large naval fleet to England to punish all non-Catholics.

8 Frederick the Great of Prussia An “Enlightened absolute monarch” Did not claim divine right to strengthen his rule –Wants to use more “humane” ways (think reforms) to expand his empire Military-minded (wants to expand) Will fight many wars –War of Austrian Succession –The Seven Years War f

9 The English Civil War: Setting the Stage Charles hates Parliament  so he fired Parliament Then he needed them back to get $$$$ –He “re-hired” them. 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 Charles signed it – then he IGNORED it. Parliament then withheld money – He fired them again…

10 English Civil War Starts Why? – because the people were mad at Charles for firing the Parliament (and Parliament was mad too) When? – 1642 – 1649 Loyalists Supported Charles Called “Cavaliers” Roundheads Supported Parliament Leader was Oliver Cromwell VS

11 Results of the English Civil War Oliver Cromwell’s Roundheads defeated the Cavaliers and imprisoned Charles They put him on trial, sentenced him to death – chopped his head off.

12 Changes in Power Oliver Cromwell took over following the civil war –Formed a military state –Very strict Charles II in power –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.

13 The Glorious Revolution –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.

14 Glorious Revolution (cont’d) –HOWEVER, James had an older Protestant daughter (Mary) who married William of Orange. –Parliament invited William to overthrow James II. He brought an army, James II fled the country –Thus, the Glorious Revolution began and ended with no fighting –William and Mary begin their reign and develop a CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY : There is a monarch in place, however they are limited in their power
