The Civil War (1642-1651) was the last attempt at absolute monarchy in England
then Bill of Rights (1688) put it well and truly to bed when Parliament decided they didn't like the current king and picked someone else, simultaneously stripping them of their powers
it was well and truly dead by the time of the rebellion
- InTheArena 3y agoAbsolute monarchy never really existed in England. There is more to the world then England, and monarchy as government is still a thing. After all, a short hop-skip-jump across the channel, there is a French king soon to lose his head.
