Archbishop William Laud 1573-1645 Ordained as a priest in 1601, Laud was ambitious and rose quickly through the hierarchy of the Church principally through the patronage of Richard Neile, Bishop of Rochester, through whom he was introduced into the court of King James I. In 1617, Laud accompanied the King on a visit to Scotland as one his chaplains. Laud's love of ceremony and harmonious liturgy — the "beauty of holiness" — was shared by King Charles, but it was loathed by Puritans, who regarded Laud's Arminianism as dangerously close to Roman Catholicism. Laud was accused of assuming tyrannical powers in Church and State, of subverting the true religion with popish superstition and of causing the recent disastrous wars against the Scots. www.british-civil-wars.co.uk /biog/laud.htm   (848 words)

William Laud information - Search.com Laud was born in Reading, Berkshire, of comparatively low origins (a fact of which he was to remain sensitive throughout his career) and educated at Reading School and, through a White Scholarship, St. Laud was a sincere Anglican and loyal Englishman, who must have been frustrated at the charges of Popery levelled against him by the Puritan element in the Church. Laud's policy was influenced by another aspect of his character: his desire to impose total uniformity on the Church. www.search.com /reference/William_Laud   (652 words)

Chapter 2 - Shrewsbury and Archbishop Laud This was one of Archbishop Laud's chief aims and his attempts to recover the Church's lost wealth from the lay impropriators were amongst the main reasons for his unpopularity. The attempt by Laud to regain control of the Church's finances was paralleled by his determined efforts to control the appointment of clergy to vacant livings. Laud, having suppressed the Feoffees seems, in this instance at least, to have made no attempt to repeal their actions; indeed, his subsequent policy of encouraging augmentations was based on similar principles. www.serjeantson.com /history/thesis/Chapter2.htm   (1575 words)

Creeds of Christendom, with a History and Critical notes. Volume I. The History of Creeds. | Christian Classics ... He was indefatigable and punctilious in the discharge of his innumerable duties as archbishop and prime minister, member of the courts of Star-Chamber and High-Commission, of the committee of trade, the foreign committee, and as lord of the treasury. Laud thought that his way of defense was the only one by which the Church of England could justify her separation from the Church of Rome. In one word, Laud was a typical Anglo-Catholic, who unchurched all non-episcopal Churches, and regarded the Anglican Church as an independent sister of the Latin and Greek communions, and as the guardian of the whole truth as against the 'sects,' and of nothing but the truth as against Rome. www.ccel.org /ccel/schaff/creeds1.ix.viii.i.html   (9165 words)

John Milton Laud performed the marriage despite his support of the “doctrine of the absolute indissolubility of the sacrament of marriage, and he must therefore be considered to have performed that solemnity between Lord Devon and Lady Rich, and so sanctioned their living together, while he believed her to be the wife of another man” (www.britannia.com). Laud sentenced Dr. Leighton to “pay a fine of ₤10,000, to be twice set in the pillory and whipped, to have his ears cut off and his nose slit, and to be branded in the face with the letters SS (for Sower of Sedition) and to be imprisoned for the remainder of his life” (www.britannia.com). Laud was soon blamed for the conflicts between the King and Parliament, and King Charles abolished the oath in October 1640. www.library.fau.edu /npb/gribro.htm   (2394 words)

::Archbishop William Laud:: Archbishop William Laud was one of the senior advisors to Charles I. Puritan leaders openly criticised Laud and in 1637 three Puritans, John Bastwick, Henry Burton and William Prynne were arrested on the orders of Laud and had their ears cut off and were branded on the cheeks for writing pamphlets that criticised Laud’s beliefs and what Laud was doing within the Church. Laud was also able to put his own men in positions of authority within the church in the late 1620’s and early 1630’s —the result of, from Laud’s point of view, a number of fortuitous deaths. www.historylearningsite.co.uk /Archbishop-William-Laud.htm   (896 words)

William Laud William Laud lived much of his life in the days of King Charles I. It was a turbulent time throughout, one of violent divisions in the Church of England, eventually culminating in the English Civil War. In 1611, however, Laud was appointed President of St John's despite opposition from the Calvinists, who maintained that there had been irregularities in his election. Archbishop Laud regarded it as a seemly, dignified garment, an appropriate response to the Apostle Paul's injunction, "Let all things be done decently and in order." The Calvinists stood by their objections, and violently interrupted services at which the surplice was worn. www.manotick.org /stjames/Archival_pages/william_laud.htm   (832 words)

Laud and Prynne The circumstances which led to the archbishop’s death are related by the writers of our national history, upon the authority of impartial annalists, and collectors of facts relating to the troublesome times in which he lived and died. Be that as it may, the work came out with the license of the archbishop’s chaplain prefixed, and involved the author, and all that were concerned in it, in a fearful prosecution in the court of the star chamber. Laud was brought to the block, and Prynne in his writings, and in parliament, consistently resisted oppression from whatever it proceeded. www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com /Text/Hone/laud_and_prynne.htm   (1201 words)

Magna Carta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At the time of John’s reign there was still a great deal of controversy as to how the Archbishop of Canterbury was to be elected, although it had become traditional that the monarch would appoint a candidate with the approval of the monks of Canterbury. However Laud was not trying to say that Magna Carta was evil, merely stating the truth about its origins, as he used the document in his defence. They prized The Charter so highly that they believed all such as Archbishop Laud who “trod Magna Carta…under their feet” deserved to be attacked at all levels, and that anyone of any status attempting to do the same should be treated in the same way. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Magna_Carta   (8240 words)

The Baldwin Project: Charles I by Jacob Abbott The Archbishop of Canterbury is styled the Lord Primate of all England. He had observed that Laud, who had been advanced to some high stations in the Church by his father, King James, was desirous to enlarge and strengthen the powers and prerogatives of the Church, just as he himself was endeavoring to do in respect to those of the throne. If Laud had [150] let the affair pass, it would have ended with a laugh in the street; but by resenting it, he gave it notoriety, caused it to be recorded, and has perpetuated the memory of the jest to all future times. www.mainlesson.com /display.php?author=abbott&book=charles1&story=archbishop&PHPSESSID=63f3797675b0125bd291acf35a876672   (4189 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Anglicanism In 1413 Archbishop Arundel, with the assent of Convocation, affirmed against the Lollards the faith of the English Church in a number of test articles, including the Divine institution of the Papacy and the duty of all Christians to render obedience to it (Wilkins, Concilia, III, 355). At the same time she reasserted in the full the claim made by Henry VIII as to the Authority of the Crown in matters ecclesiastical, and the great religious changes made after her accession were carried out and enforced in a royal visitation commissioned by the royal authority. Archbishop Laud, in 1640, had a series of canons drawn up in Convocation and duly published, but this attempt at spiritual independence was speedily suppressed. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01498a.htm   (5537 words)

Laud, Liberty, and Levellers For the time, the rising tide of Puritanism is stemmed by William Laud, the martyr archbishop, who in season and out of season preached the doctrine of equality before the law, against the Puritan theory of immunity in the case of courtiers and gentlemen. One of the complaints of Laud's adversary Henry Burton against the Common Prayer was, 'it cut short sermons.' The worship that is social strikes at the individualism of the man in the pulpit; it is an apostolical reminder to him not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. Laud strove by every means in his power to prevent such enclosures as depopulated the countryside, and, by heading the Commission of Depopulation, infuriated the capitalistic land-owners whose interests were aligning themselves with the industrial capitalists of the towns. www.anglocatholicsocialism.org /laud.html   (3281 words)

The Baldwin Project: Charles I by Jacob Abbott They had determined that stern necessity required that Laud and Strafford must die; and the only object of going through the formality of a trial was to soften the violence of the proceeding a little, by doing all that could be done toward establishing a legal justification of the deed. Laud, who had been his friend and fellow-laborer in the king's service, was confined also in the Tower, awaiting his turn to come to trial. The old man, for Laud was now nearly [201] seventy years of age, attempted to speak, but he could not command himself sufficiently to express what he wished to say, and he fell back into the arms of his attendants. www.mainlesson.com /display.php?author=abbott&book=charles1&story=downfall   (3470 words)

Memoirs of the Puritans  Edward He was made proctor of the university; but refusing to conform to certain” points, he was called before the vice-chancellor, who laid his case before Laud, chancellor of the university, whom he petitioned for relief; but it does not appear that he received any redress. Upon the commencement of hostilities between the king and parliament, Oxford being garrisoned by the royal forces, he was deprived of his fellowship, and expelled from the college for refusing to espouse the royal cause. Archbishop Laud, being afterwards a prisoner in the tower, refused him the rectory of Chatham in Kent, on account of his puritan principles; and when appointed rector of that place by an ordinance of parliament, 1643, his lordship still refused his allowance, though the refusal was now of no avail. www.apuritansmind.com /MemoirsPuritans/MemoirsPuritansEdwardCorbet.htm   (624 words)

Newman Reader - British Critic - Le Bas Laud, though not without some reluctance, consented; and the consequence was that, according to his own account of the matter to Bishop Neile, 'he was fain to sit patiently, and hear himself abused, almost an hour together; being pointed at as he sat.' Laud, in his anxiety to correct their almost brutal irreverence, was desirous that they who entered a church, should testify, by an obeisance directed towards its most hallowed spot, that they were conscious of treading within a precinct dedicated to the majesty of Heaven. Laud bowed to the altar, Butler put up a cross; this was enough in the eyes of the multitude to asperse the fame of the former as well as of the latter; and it cannot be more than aspersed in consequence of those opportunities which he had and used above Butler for diffusing his principles. www.newmanreader.org /works/britishcritic/lebas.html   (10117 words)

mazdiss Archbishop Laud rose to eminence in a period during which it was apparent that the Church of England meant one of two different things to different men. When one studies Laud it would be rather easy to assume that most people disliked him and saw him as a threat but I would argue that there was a religious divide, that is to say that there were those who did identify with Laudianism and the reforms of the 1630s. Laud then, although appealing and nice to friends was probably as easy man to dislike if you came across him under the wrong circumstances or new very little of him. www.arasite.org /mazdiss.html   (9757 words)

Last check: ) He was the most prominent of a new generation of churchmen who disliked many of the ritual practices which had developed during the reign of Elizabeth the First (many of which began during the reign of her younger brother, Edward VI), and who were bitterly opposed by the Puritan party in the Church of England.
