You father had a ‘favourite’ at court, the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham was not popular with the other lords and had led England into a disastrous war against Spain. After the war, Parliament demands Buckingham is removed from court… Do you…
Sacrifice Buckingham, even though he’s your favourite.
Make concessions – reduce Buckingham’s power but don’t remove him.
Take all the blame yourself.
Your father was a difficult king, however you better understand how to behave at court. However, you also enjoy expensive art. Do you…
Purchase the best art across Europe, but don’t let anyone else see it.
Purchase only particularly great pieces of art and put in public buildings.
Avoid purchasing anything expensive to save money.
England has had many years of religious conflict. There are Catholics and Protestants in England, and more powerful foreign countries may get involved if you hurt any of them… Do you…
Allow more religious toleration, bringing in some Catholic practices.
Commit heavily to Protestantism as the religion of your country.
Avoid issues of religion entirely as it’s a tricky subject.
New beliefs and ideas are spreading as education improves in your country. The gentry are exploring new ideas about trade and agriculture, but also philosophy. Do you…
Encourage this, as you want the gentry on side.
Repress it – you don’t want those commoners educated!
Keep out of it – extreme texts should be censored, but otherwise leave it be.
Scotland has resisted your laws around religion. You need an army to defeat them (as they defeated you the last time you tried). However, Parliament has demanded that you get rid of your ‘malignant’ advisors to raise taxes. Do you…
Agree to this – you need those taxes!
Disband Parliament – you’ve done it before, you’ll just miss out on those taxes.
Attack Parliament – arrest those that are making your life difficult!.
