- Negotiations with Charles I
- The Newcastle Propositions
- From Parliament, 1646
- Terms:
- establish presbytarism
- settlement of religion by perliament
- parliament control of finances, army and ministers
- Very similar to the one in 1642 - Charles would not accept but he delayed his answer
- Factors helpful to the King
- many people were concerned about radicals, and saw the King as the best protection against this
- The Scots were more intent on Presbytarism than political details
- Parliament was divided in it's aims
- Local opinion
- High taxes and county committees made parliament very unpopular. There was plenty support for restoration
- The Eventual Answer from Charles
- The King was handed over to Parliament in 1647, this is when he tried to negotiate the Newcastle Propositions
- Demands
- control of militia by parliament for 10 years, not 20
- Presbyterian worship for three years only
- his own freedom of worship
- appointments in government and the army to be made by the king
- These demands showed the Charles was giving some concessions
- The problem was that it was too late: increasing power of the radicals in the army meant no favorable settlement would be reached
- The Newcastle Propositions
