The Cavalier Parilment (9 май 1661 г. – 3 янв 1679 г.)

Описание:

The Cavalier Parliament was the first English Parliament to be held after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, following the end of the Interregnum period. It was summoned by King Charles II, and it sat from May 8, 1661, to January 24, 1679.

The Cavalier Parliament was dominated by Royalists, who had supported Charles II during his exile and had worked to restore him to the throne. Its primary goal was to restore the monarchy to its former position of power and to undo many of the reforms that had been enacted during the Interregnum period.

the Cavalier Parliament passed numerous laws and acts, including the Clarendon Code, which established the Church of England as the country's official church and imposed severe restrictions on dissenters, Catholics, and other non-Anglicans. The Parliament also passed laws imposing heavy taxes on the population to fund the king's lavish lifestyle and the ongoing wars with France and the Netherlands.

Overall, the Cavalier Parliament was a conservative and reactionary institution, committed to restoring the old order and suppressing dissent and opposition to the king's rule. Its policies and actions helped to solidify the power of the monarchy and to establish a new era of stability and order in England
