In 1603, English Catholics were excited due to the accession of King James I to the throne, which marked the end of the Tudor dynasty and the beginning of the Stuart era. James was seen as potentially more tolerant towards Catholics compared to his predecessors, especially after his previous efforts to promote religious tolerance in Scotland. Additionally, the hopes for a possible relaxation of anti-Catholic laws and the restoration of certain rights invigorated the Catholic community, leading to optimism about their future in England.
