Everything about The Treaty Of Ripon totally explained
The
Treaty of Ripon was an agreement signed by
Charles I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Scottish
Covenanters on
October 26 1640, in the aftermath of the
Second Bishops' War. The Covenanters were associated with the promotion and development of Presbyterianism as a form of church government, as opposed to Episcopacy, favoured by the crown.
The
treaty was a major setback for Charles, and its terms were deeply humiliating. It stipulated that
Northumberland and
County Durham were to be ceded to the Scots as an interim measure, that
Newcastle was to be left in the hands of the Scots, and that Charles was to pay them
£850 a day to maintain their armies there. This treaty led to the calling of a session of
Parliament, which is now known as the
Long Parliament and which session was one of the major stepping stones to the outbreak of the
English Civil War.
