Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Tudors and early Stuarts were both strong on the supremacy of the crown, but the main Tudors (Henry VIII, Elizabeth I) were Protestant working with a supportive parliament!. It was the Stuart’s Catholic leanings that angered a Protestant parliament, especially as the influence of Puritans increased in the 17th century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The best that I can remember is that Parlament had grown stronger over the years and didn't want to be controlled by the Crown!. By this point in time, the Tudors were yesterday's news!. also, the Stuarts brought Scotland's politics to the forfront, something the English Parlament couldn't stand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
