646454777Estates GeneralWas a legislative assembly of the different classes (or estates) of French subjects. It had a separate assembly for each of the three estates, which were called and dismissed by the king. It had no true power in its own right—unlike the English parliament it was not required to approve royal taxation or legislation instead it functioned as an advisory body to the king, primarily by presenting petitions from the various estates and consulting on fiscal policy. The Estates-General met intermittently until 1614 and rarely afterwards, but was not definitively dissolved until after the French Revolution.
646454778James IJames VI of Scotland. Succeeded the childless Queen Elizabeth as James I of England. Reigned from 1603-1625. Not very well known, and as a Scot, was not very popular in England.

646454780ImpositionsThe Crown of England traditionally exercised the right to impose import duties for the regulation of trade and the protection of domestic industry. New impositions of this kind were imposed by Elizabeth I on currants and tobacco in 1601 and extended by King James I to most imports in 1608. Parliament did not like the impositions, but did seek a serious confrontation.
646454781Millenary PetitionWas a list of requests given to James I by Puritans in 1603 when he was travelling to London in order to claim the English throne. It is claimed, but not proven, that this petition had 1,000 signatures of Puritan ministers. This carefully worded document expressed Puritan distaste regarding the state of the Anglican Church.
646454782Duke of BuckinghamThe Duke of Buckingham was a title that was recreated in 1623 under the reign of James I. The title was created for his favorite, George Villers. George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (28 August 1592 - 23 August 1628) was the favourite, of King James I of England. Despite a very patchy political and military record, he remained at the height of royal favour for the first two years of the reign of Charles I, until he was assassinated. He was one of the most rewarded royal courtiers in all history. Claimed by some historians to be the secret lover to James I.
646454783Spanish InfantaThe daughter of the king of Spain.
646454784Charles ICharles I (19 November 1600 - 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland, and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649, and is a saint in the Church of England.

646454785Petition of RightWas an important document of declaration of constitutional freedom that required that there should be no forced loans or taxation without the consent of Parliament, that no freeman should be imprisoned without due cause, and that troops should not be quartered in civilian's homes. Charles I reluctantly agreed to the petition.
646454786ArminiansA group within the Church of England who rejected many Puritan doctrines and favored elaborate, high-church practices.
646454787ThoroughA policy instituted by Thomas Wentworth. The policy imposed strict efficiency and administrative centralization in government, and its goal was to absolute royal control of England. The sucess of the policy depended on the king's ability to operate independently of Parliament.
646454788Ship MoneyA tax that Charles I of England tried to levy without the consent of Parliament. This tax, which was only applied to coastal towns during a time of war, was intended to offset the cost of defending that part of the coast, and could be paid in actual ships or the equivalent value. The collection of the tax inland during peacetime started in 1634 and provoked increasing resistance by 1636. This conflict was one of the causes of the English Civil War.
646454789John Pym(1584 - 8 December 1643) was an English parliamentarian, leader of the Long Parliament and a prominent critic of James I and then Charles I.

646454791Long ParliamentThe Long Parliament of England was established on 3 November 1640 to pass financial bills, following the Bishops' Wars. It received its name from the fact that through an Act of Parliament, it could only be dissolved with the agreement of the members, and those members did not agree to its dissolution until after the English Civil War and at the end of Interregnum in 1660. It sat from 1640 until 1648.
646454792"Grand Remonstrance"Was a list of grievances presented to King Charles I of England by the English Parliament on 1 December 1641, but passed by the House of Commons on the 22nd of November 1641, during the Long Parliament; it was one of the chief events which were to precipitate the English Civil War.
646454793Militia OrdinanceWas a piece of legislation passed by the Long Parliament of England in March 1642, which was a major step towards the Civil War between the King and Parliament of England. Previously the King had the sole right to appoint the Lord Lieutenants, who were in charge of the county militias. These militias were the only land forces available in peacetime, because England had no regular standing army.
646454794New Model ArmyFormed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from other armies in the series of civil wars referred to as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in that it was intended as an army liable for service anywhere in the country (including in Scotland and Ireland), rather than being tied to a single area or garrison. Its soldiers became full-time professionals, rather than part-time militia.
646454795Pride's PurgeAn event that happened in 6 December 1648, during the Second English Civil War, when troops under the command of Colonel Thomas Pride forcibly removed from the Long Parliament all those who were not supporters of the Grandees in the New Model Army and the Independents. It is arguably the only military coup d'état in English history.

646454798Clarendon CodeIn English history, penal law refers to a specific series of laws that sought to uphold the establishment of the Church of England against Protestant nonconformists and Roman Catholics, by imposing various forfeitures, civil penalties, and civil disabilities upon these dissenters. The four that made up the Clarendon Code were the Corporation Act of 1661, the Act of Uniformity of 1662, the Conventicle Act of 1664, and the Five Mile Act of 1665.
646454799Test ActWere a series of English penal laws that served as a religious test for public office and imposed various civil disabilities on Roman Catholics and Nonconformists. The principle was that none but persons professing the Established Church were eligible for public employment, and the severe penalties pronounced against recusants, whether Catholic or Nonconformist, were affirmations of this principle.

He was the last Catholic monarch to reign over the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Alienated Parliament by insisting on the repeal of the Test Act. Issued the Declaration of Indulgence.
646454801Declaration of IndulgenceSuspended all religious tests and permitted free worship. Local candidates for Parliament who opposed the Declaration of Indulgence were removed by royal soldiers and replaced by Catholics.

646454802William and MaryThe coregency over the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, of King William III & II and Queen Mary II. Their joint reign began in February 1689, when they were offered the throne by the Parliament of England, replacing James II & VII, Mary's father and William's uncle/father-in-law, who was "deemed to have fled" the country in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. After Mary died in 1694, William ruled alone until his death in 1702. William and Mary were childless and were ultimately succeeded by Mary's younger sister, Anne.
646454803"Glorious Revolution"The overthrow of King James II of England (James VII of Scotland and James II of Ireland) by a union of English Parliamentarians with the Dutch stadtholder William III of Orange-Nassau (William of Orange). William's successful invasion of England with a Dutch fleet and army led to his ascending the English throne as William III of England jointly with his wife Mary II of England.
646454804Bill of RightsA bill of rights that was recognized by William and Mary that limited the power of the monarchy and guaranteed the civil liberties of the English privileged classes. Prohibited Roman Catholics from occupying the English throne.

His relentless hard work and thrift made him an esteemed minister. He achieved a reputation for his work of improving the state of French manufacturing and bringing the economy back from the brink of bankruptcy.
646454818Marquis of Louvois(18 January 1641 - 16 July 1691) was the French Secretary of State for War for a significant part of the reign of Louis XIV. Louvois and his father, Michel le Tellier, would increase the French Army to 400,000 soldiers, an army that would fight four wars between 1667 and 1713. He is commonly referred to as "Louvois".

The organization, which was founded in 1686 as the League of Augsburg, was known as the "Grand Alliance" after England joined the League (in 1689). It was originally formed in an attempt to halt Louis XIV of France's expansions.

It ended in defeat for the Irish chieftains, which led to their exile in the Flight of the Earls and to the Plantation of Ulster.The war against O'Neill and his allies was the largest conflict fought by England in the Elizabethan era. At the height of the conflict (1600-1601) more than 18,000 soldiers were fighting in the English army in Ireland.

646456241Nicolas Copernicus(1473-1543) Was a Polish astronomer. Educated in Krakow and later in Italy. Led a largely isolated intellectual life. Not known for strikingly original or unorthodox thought.
646456242On The Revolutions of the Heavenly SpheresPublished in 1543, the year of Copernicus' death. Called "revolution making rather than a revolutionary text."
646456243AlmagestA 2nd-century mathematical and astronomical treatise on the apparent motions of the stars and planetary paths. Written in Greek by Claudius Ptolemy, a Roman era scholar of Egypt, it is one of the most influential scientific texts of all time, with its geocentric model accepted for more than twelve hundred years from its origin in Hellenistic Alexandria, in the medieval Byzantine and Islamic worlds, and in Western Europe through the Middle Ages and early Renaissance until Copernicus.
646456244GeocentrismAssumed that above the Earth lay a series of concentric spheres, probably fluid in character, one of which contained the sun, the moon, and other planets and the stars. At the outer edge of these spheres lay the realm of God and His angels. THE EARTH HAD TO BE THE CENTER DUE TO ITS HEAVINESS!!!!!!
646456245EpicyclesThe epicycle (literally: on the circle in Greek) was a geometric model used to explain the variations in speed and direction of the apparent motion of the Moon, Sun, and planets. It was first proposed by Apollonius of Perga at the end of the 3rd century BC and formalized by Ptolemy of the Thebaid in his 2nd-century AD astronomical treatise the Almagest. In particular it explained the retrograde motion of the five planets known at the time. Secondarily, it also explained changes in the apparent distances of the planets from Earth.
646456246HeliocentricThe astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around a stationary Sun at the center of the universe.
646456247Tycho Brahe(14 December 1546 - 24 October 1601) A Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical and planetary observations. Coming from Scania, then part of Denmark, now part of modern-day Sweden, Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer and alchemist.
646456248Johannes KeplerGerman Astronomer who was a convinced Copernican and a more consistently rigorous advocate of a heliocentric model than Copernicus himself.
646456249The New AstronomyBook published by Kepler in 1609. Said that the path of the planets were elliptical.
