In the conclusion of the epic 3 part series, Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia continues his tongue in cheek, in depth analysis on the religious turmoils and political shenanigans in not to Merry Olde England. First up, it’s the reign of the Virgin Queen (Elizabeth I) whose rule begins in a progressive, religiously tolerant manner, but after the Battle of Wills for dominance of the British Isles- with Mary Queen of Scots deteriorates into an intolerant and tyrannical Queendom. Next, it’s the Stuart Kings, James I – who fills his court with pretty young men and whose openly gay lifestyle alienates his allies the Puritans. Jack also examines the rise of Puritan General Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War, Europe’s final religious military conflict that will lead to the abolition of the monarchy and the execution of King Charles I. And last but not least the restoration of the Royal Family under Charles II, a King who loved pleasure -had dozens of mistresses and filled his court with drunkenness and debauchery , plus the short reign of his brother James II, who attempts to turn back the clock and return England to Catholicism and the authority of the Pope.
