What was the reaction to the Stuart dynasty?

The Stuart dynasty faced a mixed reaction during its reign in England, with periods of support and strong opposition. Initially, James I and Charles I encountered resistance due to their belief in the divine right of kings and attempts to impose Anglicanism, leading to tensions with Parliament and Puritan groups. The resulting conflicts culminated in the English Civil War, which ultimately led to the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the temporary establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. The monarchy was later restored in 1660, but the legacy of conflict and division between royal authority and parliamentary power persisted.
