William Laud was Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of Charles I (1625-1649). Shortly after Charles's succession, Laud presented him with a list of England's ministers, divi ded into "O" (for orthodox) and "P" (for Puritan). This began a feud that led to the persecution of many Puritans and the beheading of Laud himself once the Puritans came to power. The English writer and librarian Henry Wharton made the acquaintance of a later Archbishop of Canterbury, William Sancroft, under whose patronage Wharton's literary work was done. Wharton became well known in his lifetime as an ecclesiastical historian. Show more
