Round 1: Tossup 7

A group of councilors under a king with this regnal name was known as the “cabal ministry.” A king with this regnal name came into conflict with Parliament after appointing the reformist William Laud as Archbishop of Canterbury and levying a “ship-money” (15[1])tax (15[1])during his “Personal (10[1])Rule.” The supposed (*) Popish Plot would have targeted a king with this regnal name. 10 years after a king with this regnal name was executed by a Rump (10[1])Parliament tribunal, his (10[1])son with this name succeeded Oliver Cromwell’s government in the Stuart Restoration. For 10 points, give this name shared by two 17th century kings of England, as well as the current monarch. ■END■
