The Political Thought of the English Free State, 1649–1653
Testimony, Tyranny and Treason
The trial and execution of Charles I have been the subject of considerable historical study, especially in the last twenty years. One aspect of the trial, however, remains largely unexplored: the role of witness testimony. The witness depositions received on 24 and 25 January 1649 have sometimes been dismissed as a mere stalling tactic, intended to provide Charles with further time to consider entering a plea. In contrast, this article contends t…
The manuscript journals of the trial of Charles I
Historians of the trial of Charles I will be familiar with the two copies of the manuscript journals kept in The National Archives of the U.K. and the U.K. Parliamentary Archives. Besides these manuscripts, two further copies of the trial proceedings are held in the Beinecke Library, Yale, and in the British Library. This article compares these versions to propose a tentative document history of the journals, suggesting that these manuscripts wer…

The Nature of the English Revolution Revisited
This book takes its title from a seminal collection of essays by John Morrill and, as the third volume so far produced dedicated to him, represents further testament to the regard in which Morrill is held in early modern British studies. The editors, Stephen Taylor and Grant Tapsell, have brought together essays by leading early modern British historians covering a number of key areas pertinent to Morrill’s research interests: the character of Ch…
Women, Politics, and the 1723 Oaths of Allegiance to George I
This article explores the last instance of mass public oath-taking in England, the tendering of the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration in the aftermath of the Jacobite Atterbury Plot of 1722. The records of this exercise, surviving in local record offices, have been little examined by historians. The returns are, however, unusual not only in the level of detail they occasionally provide concerning subscribers (place of abode, occupati…
Print and Public Politics in the English Revolution, by Jason Peacey
Jason Peacey’s latest book represents a major contribution to the ongoing debate on the significance of the ‘print revolution’ in mid-seventeenth-century England. Peacey’s work advances a number of major arguments: that print was a cheap and accessible form of political communication, but that it might be deployed in discrete ways (targeted at very specific audiences) and was not always part of a print ‘marketplace’ (because some tracts were dist…

Reborn John
The Leveller writer John Lilburne (1615?–57) is today one of the most celebrated of England’s seventeenth-century radicals: his life has been commemorated in popular biography, television drama and even rock opera. However, scholars have generally argued that in the eighteenth century Lilburne’s connections with radical politics and in particular the Leveller movement were obscured. This article suggests instead that eighteenth-century representa…

The dangers of prudence
The Ciceronian maxim salus populi, suprema lex was regularly invoked by writers justifying Parliament's war against Charles I. Quentin Skinner has seen this axiom as integral to the notion of ‘neo‐Roman’ liberty. However, as Johann Sommerville has recently demonstrated, in both early modern and classical contexts, salus populi was often used to justify the ‘arbitrary’ power of the sovereign. This essay traces the implications of one absolutist re…

Prophecy, Politics and the People in Early Modern England
Tim Thornton's book addresses the uses of ancient (non-biblical) prophecy in England, focusing especially upon the prognostications of Mother Shipton, Merlin and Nixon the Cheshire Prophet. As with recent treatments of the tales of Robin Hood, Thornton's purpose here is not to uncover whether these figures were real or fictional (though he sides clearly with the latter) but to investigate the sources for these stories and track the manner in whic…
Loyal or Rebellious? Protestant Associations in England 1584–1696
The current historiography of oaths of association in early modern England mainly concentrates on the two oaths which bookend the period discussed in this article, the 1584 association in defence of Elizabeth I and the 1696 association for William III. Generally, the verdict of historians on these two associations has been negative. Christopher Haigh, paraphrasing Sir John Neale, describes the Elizabethan association as a 'political vigilante gro…
Protestation, Vow, Covenant and Engagement
This article discusses four political tests imposed between 1641 and 1649. Using printed pamphlets and manuscript oath rolls, the article explores both the guidelines established by casuists and pamphleteers for swearing lawfully, and the responses of individual subscribers when confronted with conflicting demands for their political allegiance. In this way, the article demonstrates the importance of subscription returns as a source for political…

Oaths, Casuistry, and Equivocation
This article addresses a neglected facet of a familiar political debate, the contribution of Anglican royalist writers to the Engagement controversy. A new interpretation of the core issues at stake in the debate is offered by focusing on these Anglican responses.
