May 1642 CE

Charles is forced into one concession after another.

Ship money, fines in destraint of knighthood and forced loans are declared unlawful, and the hated Courts of Star Chamber and High Commission are abolished.

Although he makes several important concessions, Charles improves his own military position by securing the favor of the Scots.

He finally agrees to the official establishment of Presbyterianism; in return, he is able to enlist considerable anti-parliamentary support.

The English Civil War has not yet started, but both sides have begun to arm.
