HIST 3501 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Great Fear, Personal Rule, Scottish People
Document Summary
James died in 1625, and charles would take over. He was the second son, and always called the baby. This was in part because he faced a lot of developmental delays. He had a stammer that he never got rid of, and he was never considered to survive. He was actually left in scotland when they left for england, though he would come later. His older brother would die, and thus, he would take the throne when his father died. He didn"t have the same education as his brother as such, and was not raised to be the monarch. Charles continued to trust buckingham, and he remained really unpopular. The populace wanted charles to get rid of him, and they wanted a change of leadership in regard to buckingham. He was married to henrietta maria, who as the sister of king louis xiii, meaning she was catholic. There was the great fear that their children would be raised catholic.
