The writings and ideas of John Calvin, a leader in the Reformation, gave rise to Protestantism and were pivotal to the Christian revolt. They contended that The Church of England had become a product of political struggles and man-made doctrines. The Puritans were one branch of dissenters who decided that the Church of England was beyond reform. Escaping persecution from church leadership and the King, they came to America. The Puritans believed that the Bible was God's true law, and that it provided a plan for living. Charlesx3.JPG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

"The English Civil War" was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations that took place between Parliamentarians and Royalists from 1642 until 1651, and includes the Second English Civil War (1648–1649) and the Third English Civil War (1649–1651). Overview[edit] Convention uses the name "The English Civil War" (1642–51) to refer collectively to the civil wars in England and the Scottish Civil War, which began with the raising of King Charles I's standard at Nottingham on 22 August 1642, and ended on 3 September 1651 at the Battle of Worcester.

Motivations[edit] John Banville: A portrait of Launcelot Northbrook. Provenance Possibly belonged to members of the Wray family in the late 18th and early 19th century; discovered in a farmhouse near Knole, Kent in the late 19th century; acquired by Haden in London before 1892.

He was beheaded for leading the Monmouth rebellion in 1685. However, the length of the hair and style of this portrait suggest a date in the 1640s. Deathbed portraiture had some popularity in the 1640s; it helped to secure the reputation of the deceased and provide a visual memory for the bereaved. The story Launcelot Northbrook was born at Chester in 1621. Already as a boy Launcelot had shown a marked skill as a versifier, and a chapbook of his poems printed at his father's shop is dated 1635. Imagined Lives: portraits of unknown people. This display looks in detail at fourteen portraits of people whose identities are uncertain.
Dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, these portraits were once thought to depict famous sitters including Queen Elizabeth I, the young pretender to the throne Lady Arabella Stuart, and the poet and courtier Sir Thomas Overbury. These identities, however, have long since been disputed. New research, undertaken in part by MA students from the University of Bristol, is presented alongside the portraits. The likelihood of previously given identities is assessed and, in some cases, new identities are suggested.
Inspired by these mystery portraits, internationally renowned authors John Banville, Tracy Chevalier, Julian Fellowes, Alexander McCall Smith, Terry Pratchett, Sarah Singleton, Joanna Trollope and Minette Walters have imagined what the lives of these sitters might have been like.
