The English, in alliance with France, snatched from Dunkirk to Spain in 1658, thus obtaining a stronghold on the continent where invade Calais city that England had lost for 100 years. VI. the ABSOLUTIST restoration: Carlos II occupied the throne of England until 1685. On his return he did dig up the corpse of Cromwell in Westminster Abbey and sent him to hang for then disperse their remnants throughout England and eliminated most of the Regicides who had voted the death of his father. It was Anglican, but I am inclined to Catholicism from a commitment entered into with France (18), which earned the disapproval of the Parliament.Absolutism is not seen in England with good eyes and Catholicism that characterized Luis XIV so it was decided to vote the Bill of uniformity that recognized the Anglican superiority and the test (or test) Bill that forced officials to profess faith Anglican to impose in the oath not the formula I believe in the presence real of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist (19), by which Catholics chose to resign before denying a fundamental principle of the dogma of his religion, and finally the Bill of exclusion (20).At that time two political parties, the conservatives (called tories) and the Liberals (called whigs) arise in Parliament.

The first were in favour of the divine right of the King and felt that the monarch should freely choose his ministers. They didn’t change the law of succession and were supporters of Anglicanism. The seconds instead, tenaciously opposed the succession of the brother of Carlos II and sought to limit the actual attributes, stressing that the King should choose Ministers among the members of Parliament and leave them to govern.They were Anglicans, but like the previous ones, its religious tolerance was not enough Catholics.At the end of his reign Carlos II dissolved Parliament and ruled despotically chasing his opponents backed by the army, in what was a real reign of terror.
