Scenarios about 'Stuart monarchy'
The Stuart monarchy refers to the royal dynasty that ruled Scotland (1371-1714), England (1603-1649, 1660-1714), and Ireland (1603-1649, 1660-1714), originating with Robert II of Scotland. This period encompassed significant historical events including the English Civil War, the Restoration, the Glorious Revolution, and the Acts of Union, fundamentally reshaping British constitutional monarchy and religious politics. Stuart rule featured ongoing tensions between royal authority and parliamentary power that established precedents for modern democratic governance.
