Civil war breaks out in Britain between Royalists and Parliamentarians.

Parliamentarians - Puritans or independent religious people who supported the rights of Parliament. (Cavaliers)

Royalists - Anglican church members and closet Catholics who supported the power of the Royal Establishment. (Round heads)

Locke's parents were low income Puritans and his father went and fought for the Parliamentarians in the war.

Locke attends Westminster school in London with help from father's friend and member of the Parliament Alexander Popham.

The English civil war ends. King Charles 1 is captured and executed by the Parliamentarians causing sympathy for the Royalist cause to rise.

Oliver Cromwell becomes ruler of England and implements a Republic which turns into more of a dictatorship under his rule.

Locke is a tutor in Greek at Oxford

Cromwell's government has been overthrown and Charles II has restored the monarchy

Charles II passes the Act of Uniformity which ejects over 2,000 Puritan ministers from their churches, fined anyone over 16 attending ceremonies not conducted by the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, and forced ex-Puritan ministers to live at least five miles away from where they used to preach.

In 1666, Locke is introduced to the most influential person in his life Anthony Ashley Cooper, a wealthy and politically powerful man also known as Lord Shaftesbury. Locke learns a lot from Shaftesbury in the area of politics especially.

Locke is selected to join the royal society and his mentor Shaftesbury in promoted to Chancellor of King Charles II

Locke served the Lords Proprietors of Carolina (helping to draft a Constitution for the plantation), Secretary for Presentations (dealing with church livings), and Secretary to the Council of Trade and Plantations.

This period in time led Locke away from philosophical thought but gave him knowledge he would use in his works.

In 1683 Locke relocates abroad seeking free press until 1689.

When Locke returns he moves into the household of Lady Damaris and Sir Francis.

Locke dies with Lady Damaris reading the Psalms to him. His death, she wrote, “was like his life, truly pious, yet natural, easy and unaffected.”
