The position of English monarchs as supreme governors of the Church
of England profoundly affected early modern politics and religion.
This innovative book explores how tensions in church-state
relations created by Henry VIII's Reformation continued to
influence relationships between the crown, Parliament and common
law during the Restoration, a distinct phase in England's 'long
Reformation'. Debates about the powers of kings and parliaments,
the treatment of Dissenters and emerging concepts of toleration
were viewed through a Reformation prism where legitimacy depended
on godly status. This book discusses how the institutional, legal
and ideological framework of supremacy perpetuated the language of
godly kingship after 1660 and how supremacy was complicated by the
ambivalent Tudor legacy. It was manipulated by not only Anglicans,
but also tolerant kings and intolerant parliaments, Catholics,
Dissenters and radicals like Thomas Hobbes. Invented to uphold the
religious and political establishments, supremacy paradoxically
ended up subverting them.
