		Rivalry between England and France over the Spanish Netherlands led to attempts to ease the tension of the two countries, hence, the marriage alliance between England and France, which led to strong negative reactions of the English parliament.
		What parliament feared: this would allow the king to ally with the Catholic monarchs of France and Spain and with the financial and military backing of the two, could easily crush parliamentary opposition.

		In an effort to rectify this situation, the monarchs of England, France, Spain, and Portugal took steps to re-establish their authority over the aristocracy and the clergy.

		Wars, internal dissension, riots, famine, and plague disrupted governmental processes and it was not until the end of the fifteenth century that the royal houses of England, France, Spain, and Portugal were able to re-establish control.

		Events in France travelled more swiftly than he had anticipated, and Paine was summoned by Lafayette, Condorcet, and others, as an adviser in the formation of a new constitution.

Henri Martin, i., 151).
