The English Restoration under Charles II

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The English Restoration under Charles II did not bring political or religious peace. There were ongoing conflicts between Anglicans and Dissenters, as well as tensions between Parliament and the monarch. There was no constitution issued during this period, and Ireland remained under English control rather than becoming part of the Commonwealth. Oliver Cromwell had already been executed during the Interregnum, prior to the Restoration. While there were some members of Parliament from both Anglican and Puritan backgrounds who cooperated during this period, there were also deep divisions and ongoing power struggles.
