    Ep. 74: King Charles I, Pt. 3: Revenue, Saltpetre, and the Book of Common Prayer; How to Make Enemies in a Time of Peace #HeliumRadio


King Charles found a way to survive without Parliament. He found creative ways to collect revenue. In spite of a round of plague, the 1630s were not so bad in England. But Charles found a way to aggravate not only the “system” but the people as well, in all levels of society. Once his work was done in England, he moved to Scotland. Taking direct aim at Presbyterian worship, he managed to unify the nation against him… there would be no appeasement. Charles and his Bishops had sparked a movement that would grow to a raging inferno… and he would get burned. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
