Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #HouseOfLords was effectively abolished during the #EnglishCivilWar due to a Commons act from #ThisDayInHistory in 1649. During the Restoration that was ignored, so the UK still has that ridiculous body — only now it's largely appointed, feeding partisan power & corruption.
It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is KNIFE. The Holekhor know more than your average C17 Brit: like, why you don't operate with dirty knives, or fire guns on airships. #bookqw #englishcivilwar #airships https://www.benjeapes.com/index.php/novels/new-world-order/

#KingCharlesI dissolved parliament in 1629 on #ThisDayInHistory, beginning an 11-year period of English #Absolutism called the Personal Rule. When he needed more tax revenue & called a new parliament in 1640, it resulted in the #EnglishCivilWar. France should have paid attention.

George Digby’s intellect and rhetorical skill made him a formidable royalist figure during the English Civil War.
Yet instability and bold miscalculations complicated his legacy.
Influence demands more than talent. It requires steadiness.
