Years: 1639 - 1639
December

It is an impossible situation for Charles to accept, even if he were of a mind to do so.

He cannot rule as an absolute monarch in one corner of his kingdom and a constitutional monarch in another.

For England the situation is particularly invidious because of its more advanced tradition of constitutional law.

For Charles to summon a new Westminster Parliament at any time before the outbreak of the First Bishops' War would have been a risky enterprise; after the Edinburgh Assembly and Parliament it is a step wrought with suicidal implication.
