What were the 'eras' of rule during the Commonwealth?
Commonwealth 1649-1653
Consists of:
- Rump Parliament 1649 - April 1653
- Nominated Assembly ('Barebones Parliament') April 1653 - December 1653
What happened in March 1649?
(Rump Parliament)
- Commonwealth established - monarchy and the House of Lords are abolished.
- MP's expelled during Pride's Purge return to the Rump Parliament - they outnumber
the radicals meaning policy was generally conservative.
What was 'Eikon Basilike' and when was it published?
- Published in spring 1649
- Critiqued the execution. It was a highly favourable portrait of Charles I and celebrated
his reign. (Royalist perspective)
- Book received widespread support as many moderate and royalists believed the
execution was a step too far.
What was the Council of State and when was it set up?
- Spring 1649
- Council of State would function as a government and would be annually elected by the
Rump Parliament.
- Of its 41 members only 19 swore loyalty to the Commonwealth (Oath of Engagement).
This would suggest that it wasn't particularly radical.
- Leveller ideas of universal suffrage not implemented.
What was the Diggers Unrest and when and where did it take place?
- April 1649
- Diggers occupy St George's hill in protest of rising poverty and inflation. They claim
that property ownership was a Norman invention.
What happened in May 1649?
-5 Levellers in the Army were shot and killed for treason. This shows that Cromwell is
more interested in maintaining control rather than making political and cultural reforms.
- Lilburne and Overton (Leveller leaders) arrested for opposing the Rump.
- Lilburne attempts to reissue the Agreement of the People. He was later acquitted in
return for signing the Oath of Engagement.
Evaluation:
Events show Cromwell is becoming more conservative as Lilburne had fought in the
NMA with Cromwell during the war.
What was the Drogheda massacre and when and where did it take place?
- September 1649, Drogheda, Ireland
- Cromwell and Ireton take 20,000 troops to Drogheda and slaughter 3,000 royalists
