Attitudes

Political hard-liner: Insists that full control over taxation and the military belongs to the King (Royalist) or Parliament (Roundhead).
Political moderate: Willing to share control over the military between King and Parliament.
Religious hard-liner: Insists that church government throughout the Three Kingdoms be episcopalian (Royalist), presbyterian (Roundhead-Covenanter), or neither (Independent).
Religious moderate: Willing to tolerate or submit to different (Protestant) religious perspectives.

There were other issues (e.g., pardon for combatants, government of Ireland), but these two issues dominated the debates.
Parliamentary commissioners are in italics. Scottish commissioners are in small font.

References

^ Various sources blame the failure of talks on the king's intransigence. However, the recorded proceedings reveal a pattern of Parliament proposing absurdly one-sided measures, the King responding with proposals that meet them halfway, and Parliament refusing to budge. The proceedings are likely the work of secretaries allied with Parliament (Thurloe and Earle), not likely to unduly favor the king.

-* King Charles I <ref>Various sources blame the failure of talks on the king's stubbornness (c.f. [[Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland#Conversion to the peace faction|Algernon Percy § Conversion to the peace faction]]). However, the proceedings from the event reveal a pattern of Parliament proposing absurdly one-sided measures, the King responding with proposals that meet them halfway, and Parliament refusing to budge. Given that the proceedings likely reflect the work of secretaries allied with Parliament (Thurloe and Earle), it is reasonable to suppose their reporting was not unduly biased to favor the king.<br/>{{cite book |last=Rushworth |first=John |chapter=Historical Collections: The treaty at Uxbridge, 1645 |pages=787-843 |editor-last=Browne |editor-first=D |title=Historical Collections of Private Passages of State: Volume 5, 1642-45 |year=1721 |orig-year=orig. before 1690 |location=London |via=[http://www.british-history.ac.uk British History Online] |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/rushworth-papers/vol5/pp787-843 |access-date=20 May 2020}}</ref>
