I think it was more a case of Parliament stopping the King from imposing HIS religious views on the nation. Arminianism was very new (its 'Remonstrance' only appeared in 1610). Parliamentarians who pushed back sought to preserve the reformed church of Elizabeth.

#OTD 1646, Sir Thomas Fairfax defeats the Royalists at Great Torrington, #Devon. Famously, the Royalist magazine housed in the parish church exploded. For the 350th anniversary in 1996, the local council burned a replica in commemoration. #EnglishCivilWar #History #OnThisDay

Cromwell's birthday today. It's not about heroes. As a Leveller-sympathiser of Irish Catholic extraction I see him 'warts & all.' But he's a fascinating figure, if only because how in late middle age after a lifetime of failure & obscurity he shaped the paradigm of his generation
@emswifthook I mean Charles is literally a saint to some, right? His art collection is widely known about, and lots of people are prepared to believe he was a wronged man. Compare, too, the public perceptions of dowdy Christmas cancelling puritans vs fun-loving Cavaliers.
@emswifthook In all honesty I’m not sure we do? Most people see him as someone who challenged the monarchy but also Not A Very Nice Man. Even a ‘military dictator’. If anything there seems way more lionisation of Charles I these days.
Just think if I hadn't bumped into this divisive personage along the way I probably wouldn't have half as many books on my shelves 🤷🏽♀️ (No, they are NOT all about him, & certainly not sycophantic in nature)
Oliver Cromwell, divisive personage from the past, was born on 25 April, 1599, in Huntingdon. His old school is now occupied by @MuseumCromwell. Image: @BNE_biblioteca
@emswifthook Why? He broke the power of a corrupt royalty (illegal trials, monoplies, taxation without consent). Sadly he lacked the super-glue whereby he might fashion a new consensus (except that, by so annoying everyone, they "voted" Stuart in the end). Fine commander of Horse.
My fancy, Jacobean, Oliver Cromwell drawing for his 425th birthday today, here’s my drawing interpretation of him as a 25 year old referenced from this engravement of his on the right. It’s only fair to make him look all fancy today, I am in love with it! 😆 (especially the owl!)

I like how the royalist satires about 'tub-preachers' often have them standing in the barrel rather than on it. Presumably helps make them look silly.
queer ppl's friend groups always look like this
@abattleaday You should edit this and repost. Using the terms ‘English’ and Scottish’ to describe the two sides is a significant historical inaccuracy. This was a government v rebels battle where Scots and English fought on both sides.
@thehistoryguy Prides purge really cannot be allowed to be memory holed as it underpins Charles I’s entire arguement.
#OnThisDay 9 April 1642 Parliament petitioned Charles I to move the Hull arsenal to the Tower of London (hoping to control it). Charles ignored the request, hoping to secure it himself, but was frustrated when barred from Hull by Sir John Hotham 2 weeks later... #17thCentury #OTD
@emswifthook Or was it the base of investment created in a new middle class who had bought monastic property on the cheap?
