Opposition to Charles's personal government between 1629 and 1640 was directed at him from different angles. The first of these is religion. Charles was attacked, simply put, by Protestants and Catholics. He suffered this attack for many different reasons. Catholics resented him because he was Protestant. To be more precise, he was an Arminian, which belonged to the Protestant side of Christianity. On the other side of the spectrum, he was angered by the Puritans, who considered him too close to Catholicism in his religious views. Additionally, it was disliked by the Puritans because it placed restrictions on their preaching and on themselves. The Puritans formed a well-organized opposition to personal rule. The greatest Puritans, linked by family and friends, organized a network of potential opposition to the king and his personal rule. This “divine party,” as it was called, was made up of nobles, merchants, lawyers and even lords. This group of powerful and extremely influential people constituted the best organized opposition to Charles's personal rule. Another source of opposition to Charles's personal rule was that of parliament and Charles's financial expenditures. Charles' personal reign lasted 11 long years during which he did not summon Parliament for money or grants. To finance his problems, he used his position of power as king to call in favors and rules that allowed him to make money without appealing to Parliament. One of them was selling securities. Seizure of chivalry. This was where men who owned estates worth £40 a year were in theory supposed to present them for ennoblement at the coronation of a new king. Charles therefore fined people who did not do so, even though this practice had...... middle of paper...... members opposed certain aspects of Charles' government. Another reason why opposition to personal rule was so strong was that Charles ruled three kingdoms, all of which had different religions. England was predominantly Anglican. Scotland was divided between fierce Presbyterians and Catholics. In conclusion, opposition to personal government between 1629 and 1640 was very strong. Charles faced criticism and opposition from all directions and angles. This therefore put him under great pressure. For Charles, the key area of ​​opposition was “minority”. This was the key to the opposition because it applied to the whole country, and eventually to Ireland. The term "Thorough" has made many enemies because it was widespread until now. Most, if not all areas, "thoroughly" disliked due to the fact that the king and his servants, Wentworth and Laud, were pressuring local sheriffs to be more abiding by the king's word..
