Religious hard-liner
Insists that church government throughout the Three Kingdoms be episcopalian (Royalist) or presbyterian (Roundhead).

  1. ^ 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.
