Spanish Armada in 1588

In the latter part of the 16th century, Spain was the major international power.

English 'sea-dogs' had been causing a great deal of damage to Spain's trade in silver. Men such as Sir Francis Drake attacked Spanish shipping off of the West Indies and Spain lost a vast sum of money when the ships carrying silver sunk or had their cargo captured by Drake.

To the English, Drake was a hero but to the Spanish he was nothing more than a pirate who, in their view, was allowed to do what he did with the full knowledge of Queen Elizabeth. This the Spanish could not accept.

England again, with the religious intolerance.....

Elizabeth was most concerned with the unity of her country

This meant even those Puritans who felt the Church of England (Anglican Church) was still too similar to the Catholic Church in its practices. It needed to be “purified.”

Elizabeth persecuted Catholics and Protestants who were not Anglicans. That meant the Puritans. Many fled to the new world

Englandagain, with the religious intolerance.....

Elizabeth’s rule s of Puritans paying taxes was similar to other rulers of the time BUT the Puritans did not forget....

England Elizabeth and Parliament

Parliment made of House of Lords House of Commons

gentry - born into families with land but likely won’t inheret the land burgesses - merchants and professionals

Elizabeth handled them all skillfully

EnglandWhen Elizabeth I died with no heir James VI of Scotland became James I of England. The Stuart kings (James I and Charles I) had great difficulty in their relationship with Parliament. The number of Puritan members had increased, which meant religious as well as political conflict.

James VI of Scotland who became James I of England....like the naming of “Jamestown, Va”
