What group viewed themselves as true members of the Church of England?
In 1641 a War of Religion was fought to prevent the abolition of the Church of England and its replacement by a Protestant/ Calvinist Sect. The Anglicans lost, their Archbishop executed by Attainder and its bishops imprisoned. The priests were evicted from their livings, some being sent abroad in to slavery while at least one was hung or was hanged over the Altar rails. They were called Laudians after the Archbishop, Bl.W.Laud. A loyal remnant went abroad and held services as well as ordaining new priests. The Church was restored 1660 by popular demand! However in 1688 there was more trouble in store for the Church in England. James the IInd, a Romanist issued a Declaration giving freedom of worship. The Anglican Bishops accepted this, on the whole, but cavilled when James started to strip the Anglican Church of assets and authority and give them to the Church of Rome. When James ordered the Anglican Clergy to use their pulpit as a means of spreading James's own Declaration of Indulgence, they rebelled quite openly and the Bishops and Clergy refused to either do it or allow it! The result was that Seven of the bishops were prosecuted in the courts! The Country was in a turmoil, these Bishops were the cream of English Society, all Catholic Anglicans, who had supported the Royal Martyr and some had suffered Exile. They were found not guilty and James was defeated and backed down. That should have been the end of it, but a group of Peers and one traitor bishop sent a signed letter to William of Orange, Stadtholder of Holland, asking him to rescue them from popish terror,[or whatever.] This was unknown to anyone outside the little group and their friends. William invaded and landed at Torbay with a Protestant Army helped funded by the Pope, funnily enough. James fled! He was old and tired. The usurper, a Calvinist eventually became King by invitation . The bishops and indeed most Anglicans wanted a Regency for the time being so that James's son could be king in his time. When William was chosen seven Bishops refused to take an oath to him on the excuse that they had already given their word to James , they were prevented from exercising their religious functions as Bishops of the Catholic Church.. Had it been left at that, all might have been well, but the protestants who supported William took the opportunity to emasculate the Church in England and they intruded schismatics in to the place of the Seven Bishops including the Archbishop of Canterbury! This action of intruding strangers in to the Sees of canonically appointed Catholic Bishops was an offence against the ancient canons. Their was a split in the Catholic Church in England seven or eight Bishops, and some 500 Clergy stood to the faith. They claimed rightly, to be the Ancient Church and were known as the Non Jurors. The last known bishop , a watchmaker moved to Ireland in 1805 and the last known NonJuror died somewhere around the 1870s. In 1789, most of the Nonjurors returned to the C.of E, with the death of Charles the IIIrd in 1788. Thus giving a boost to the catholic, or High Church Group leading the way for the Tractarian Revival.
Where was the Battle of the Boyne fought?
For the last 55 years or so, there had been conflict and disagreement between the religions in England. The Catholics, who were influenced by the Pope, and the Protestants, who disagreed with the views or the Pope and were ruled by the king at the time, King Henry VIII. In 1587, the execution of the Roman Catholic Mary Queen of Scots took place. This angered thr Spanish Catholics and they wanted revenge. This lead to the Spanish Armada the following year. Unfortunately Sir Francis Drake and the English navy managed to prevent the Spanish from taking the English shores. In 1598, English forces invade the ever growing confident Irish Catholics and take take control of Ireland. Three years later, in 1601, the Irish Catholics rebel and attempt to take back their country from England, however, the English triumphed again. In 1602 the decision to �plant� both English and Scotish Protestant in Ireland to keep control of the Irish Catholics was made. This was known as the Irish Plantation, this would the main cause of the troubles in Ireland through the next four centuries. In 1641 there was another rebellion by the Irish Catholics in Ulster, this was successful until 1641. Oliver Cromwell massacres hundereds of Irish Catholics, which just increases the hatred for the English by the Irish Catholics. 1685, Charles II dies and James II becomes King of England, James was a Catholic.In 1588 King James the II of England�s wife supposidly gave birth to a male child. There are theories that James smuggled a newly born male baby into the chamber in which his wife supposidly gave birth. This was to ensure that the throne was to be passed down to Jame�s male son, which would mean the continuation of a Catholic dynasty. This was not good news for the Protestants of England who decided to imform William of Orange, James II�s son in law.William brings 10,000 or so men to England to invade, he is successful and many of the English defect to William. Also, at this time, James II flees to France to seek the aid of the Catholic King, King Loui XIV.Witht he support of Loui XIV, James takes an army of elite soldiers to Ireland to regain his throne. He goes to Londonderry, a protestant stronghold to gain control of it. It was the only place not under his controll. The stronghold of Londerry was now under seige.
