Examines the experiences of Catholics during the period when
England was ruled by Puritan Protestants. This is the first book to
examine thoroughly the ways in which Catholics adapted to political
and social change during the turbulent years of the English
Revolution. The book examines several important aspects of the
Catholic experience in this period. It explores the penal laws by
which the estates of Catholics were sequestrated, discussing the
extent to which politicians designed the new laws to target
Catholics specifically, rather than Royalists more generally, and
outlining how the sequestration legislation operated in practice.
It considers how Catholic gentry utilised their networks with
influential Protestants with wider political connections when
applying to have their sequestrations discharged. More broadly the
book reveals how Catholics demonstrated their loyalty and
assimilated into society despite being viewed as the natural
enemies of the English Republic and Protectorate. The book also
compares Catholic experiences to those of other religious
minorities and sets the situation in England in the wider European
international context of Catholic-Protestant rivalry and warfare,
which made Catholics a particularly vulnerable religious minority
in Puritan England.
