Introduction to the Puritan Challenge

The Puritan challenge during the 17th century was a complex movement that sought to reform the Church of England and limit the power of the monarchy. Puritans believed in strict religious discipline and moral conduct, which often put them at odds with the monarchy and the established church.

Key figures included Parliamentarians and religious leaders who wanted to see changes in religious practices and governance.

The challenge was driven by a combination of religious beliefs, political ideas, and social frustrations, making it a significant period in English history.
