Personal Rule to Restoration 1629–1660
You should spend about 45 minutes on this section.

2 Study Sources A, B and C.
‘The monarchy was only restored because Parliament was so unpopular in 1659 and 1660.’
How far do Sources A, B and C convince you that this statement is correct?
Use the sources and your knowledge to explain your answer. [20]
() Spelling, punctuation and grammar and the use of specialist terminology [5]
Source A
A letter written by Sir George Booth in August 1659. Booth led a Royalist rebellion in Cheshire
against Parliament. The rebellion took place in August 1659, but it was defeated by the Army
and so did not spread to other areas of England.
Although other men might not seem to care, I think that if we could show them what
Parliament was really like, then their eyes would be opened. Parliament demands more tax
than we can afford. Parliament deceives us, trying to collect a year’s taxes in only three
months. And by working hand in hand with the Army, they have taken away our right to
protect ourselves and placed us in the hands of the meanest religious fanatics. The
fanatics say they protect us, but in truth they threaten us unless we share their beliefs.
Source B
Extracts from accounts of events in London, recorded by Thomas Rugg. Rugg kept a journal
between 1659 and 1661. This journal was later published.
November 1659: In the City of London, many people were very unhappy with the Army. There
were so many soldiers in the City that it was thick with them. The soldiers were frightening, which
discouraged people from entering the city. Traders found that their shops were empty of
customers. They complained to the Mayor, but he was reluctant to act against the soldiers.
December 1659: Many traders and discontented young men planned to rise up against the
soldiers. But the Army’s Committee of Public Safety heard about this rising and moved three
thousand soldiers on horseback and three thousand foot soldiers into the City. These
soldiers were met with great opposition, and many insults. The crowd threw tiles and stones
and even old shoes at them.
