James I and the ‘Divine Right of Kings’
What did he use to say to Parliament?

"I am King, and I was chosen by God to rule over both England and Scotland. I share my power with nobody. "

"This is my Kingdom, and I'll spend money how I like! It is not up to you how I run my government."

" I was chosen by God to be King and to have complete power. I do not make compromises. You should give me the money I want."

The Gunpowder plot

The gunpowder plotters were a group of angry Catholics, who did not like how King James was treating Catholics in England. Catholics were fined, exiled and had their rights taken away. The plotters planned to attack the state opening of Parliament with gunpowder, when all of the most important people in Britain were there. They would then take control of the country.

The first permanent colony was created in New England(America) by the Pilgrim Fathers

The Pilgrim Fathers were the first  settlers of Plymouth, Massachussets, the first permanent colony in New England(1620). Of the 102 colonists, 35 were members of the English Separatist Church (a radical faction of Puritans) who had earlier moved to  the Netherlands, to escape persecution at home.

Puritans were a religious group during the 1500s and 1600s who followed extreme Protestant ideas, and lived strictly religious lives. They really hated Catholics. They also hated decoration in churches, and wanted their places of worship to be simple and ‘pure’ (hence, ‘Puritan’). Puritans wore plain black clothing, with a white collar.

They thought people should work hard and always behave in a religious way. They did not like people having fun. Puritans disliked theatres, sport and drinking alcohol, and believed that Sundays should always be spent in church and praying.
