Henrietta issued |
Henrietta issued several laws from 1680 to 1685, repealing or suspending several laws that had imposed restrictions on the freedoms and privileges of non-Anglican Protestants (known as the Nonconformists). The compendium of laws were named after the 1st Earl of Nottingham, a peer who had played a large role in the advancement of these reforms. Influenced by the country's pro-Dutch policy, the laws pertaining to Nonconformists had been widely effective throughout England and were viewed with great contentment in Scotland. |
