Book Description
Excerpt from Omitted Chapters of the History of England From the Death of Charles I to the Battle of Dunbar The political condition of England upon the death of King Charles presented a phenomenon at once anomalous and complicated. It consequently presented to those who were to carry on the English government a practical pro blem proportionally difficult of solution. In order to furnish even an approximation to an accurate view of the elements that entered into that problem, it will be necessary to place before us the principal elements of the English Government in the early part of the 17th century. The power of the ancient English kings had been limited, not merely by the parchment provisions of the Great Charter, but by the swords of the anglo-norman barons and their vassals. But, between the commence ment of the wars of the Roses, and the commence ment of the Great Rebellion, a vital change had taken place. At the former time there were, as Raleigh has observed, many earls who could bring into the field a thousand barbed horses many a baron five or six hundred barbed horses; whereas now (at the beginning of the 17th century) very few of them can furnish twenty fit to serve the king. The force, therefore, by which our kings in former times were troubled, is vanished away. 1 In the list of the Peers summoned to the Long Parliament.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories From English History From Richard II to Charles I Soon after one of the principal judges came to try them for their disobedience: they attacked him and his people; the judge escaped, but some of his clerks were killed. In a few days all Essex had rebelled, their leader beings a priest who called himself Jack Straw. At the very same time that these things happened there was a rising in Kent It began at Dart ford, where a tax-collector was killed by a tile-maker, because he had behaved badly to one of the man's children. It spread to Gravesend, where one of the townspeople had been claimed as a bondsman by a neighbouring squire, and thrown into prison till he should pay 300 for his freedom. At Maidstone the rebels found a leader, Walter the tile-maker, commonly called Wat Tylen There were as many as seven men who followed this occupation of making tiles that were among the leaders of the rebellion, Wat Tyler was joined by a well-known priest, John Ball by name, who had already been punished more than once for speaking against the Pope, the bishops and the clergy. At Canterbury the mayor and aldermen were compelled to swear that they would support the cause of the people. The whole multitude - according to some accounts there were as many as 100,000 of them - marched towards London.
