Présentation de l'éditeur
The judicial and administrative history of an ecclesiastical court abolished nearly three hundred years ago would seem, to most readers, a subject too technical and too remote from the great issues, whose breadth gives to institutional history its vitality and permanent interest, to make the results attained of value to any but a few specialists. Yet the intimate connexion of the High Commission shistory with the growth of the nonconformists, with their struggle to find a place in the English Church, and with their determination to leave it ;the important part in the history of the institution played by Thomas Cromwell, Richard Bancroft, Sir Edward Coke, William Laud, and other notable men of the period ;the insistence of the Puritans and lawyers in 1640 that the illegality of the Commission, as well as its brutality, was one of the chief causes of the Revolution of 1640 ;the vital importance of a knowledge of the controversy between the common lawyers and the High Commissioners to a proper understanding of the development and meaning of the constitutional issues so prominent during the Stuart period, all impart a significant and broad interest to the study of the Commission shistory, and make any sound conclusions about it of real value to the general student and even to the casual reader of Eng Ush history.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex history of a powerful English court, known as the High Commission, which existed between the 1580s and 1641. The author explores the courtââ â¢s origins in the tumultuous years following the Reformation, when King Henry VIII asserted his supremacy over the Church. The book details how this court evolved from a temporary measure aimed at suppressing heresy and enforcing the royal supremacy into a permanent institution with its own distinct jurisdiction and procedures. The author examines the crucial role played by prominent figures of the era, including Thomas Cromwell, Richard Bancroft, Sir Edward Coke, and William Laud, who shaped the courtââ â¢s trajectory and influence. The book unveils the ongoing tension between the High Commission and the common law judges, who saw the court as an illegal encroachment on their authority. It unravels the legal and theological arguments surrounding the court's legitimacy and explores the accusations of brutality levied against it by its opponents, primarily the Puritans. This book reveals how the High Commission, through its actions and its opponentsââ ⢠reactions, played a significant part in the development of constitutional issues that defined the Stuart period, ultimately leading to the English Revolution of 1640. The authorââ â¢s careful analysis of primary sources and archival materials offers fresh insights into this contentious institution, challenging established interpretations and offering a balanced perspective on the High Commissionââ â¢s history, its role in the religious and political landscape of England, and its eventual demise. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
