Hello everyone and welcome to the History of England Episode 353 Lawyers vs Clarix.

I am speaking this on Friday 9 September, the day after Elizabeth II died.

I know it's not that unexpected she was getting on a bit after all, but it still comes as a terrible shock actually.

She was a very impressive person, constantly seemingly unflappable, such a strong and impressive sense of duty that she inspired everyone I think.

She's been around all my life, she had been 12 years on the throne before I came along, and it will be very strange indeed not to have her around.

She's been there ever since I've been here. We will miss her and may she rest in peace.

We need to start the episode I'm afraid to say, with religion again in January 1626.

So sorry, it'll be a theme I have to say, but it is important.

Because over the first five years of Charles's reign, there was a day facto religious settlement, even if it was never called that.

And we will probably need to talk about William Lord, because his name does keep bobbing to the surface like an apple in one of those water tubs at the village fate.

And now it becomes urgent, because he would play a small but important initial role in the next parliament actually, and of course he'll be our companion for many a year from here on in, becoming at some stage Charles's Archbishop of Canterbury.

So let me start by giving a brief introduction to William Lord at his history, so far up to 1626.

William Lord was the son of a prosperous clothea from the fair town of Reading and Barclayshire. It's not that fair actually to be honest.

He was born in 1573. As a result, he'd have to suffer the slings and arrows of jokes about his lowly origins, and whereas today of course we'd wear that badge with pride and openly, back then it wasn't seen as something to be proud of.

He was always very sensitive about it.

He went to Oxford University, just St John's College, around whose corridors the width of high church slash Catholicism continued to creep.
