The archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud

Thomas Wentworth

Along with Thomas, they advised the King to practice an effective and uncorrupt governance style they called 'Thorough'; but although Wentworth spent much of his time in northern England and Ireland, Laud was often open to the King at the very center of political life, so that there were few facets of politics that were not affected by him in the 1630s. We could presume that they were very close; because on his side, Laud could not forgive the king for permitting the execution of Strafford, and dismissed his royal master as "a gentle and polite prince who does not know how to be or how to be made great." Thomas Wentworth and Laud were fundamental and main advisors to Charles I 's decisions, and together they formed an alliance.

King Charles I

He was the King of England during the English Civil War. He let that William Laud played a crucial role during his ‘personal’ rules, as he was the responsible for formulating the religious policies of the period. These initiatives reversed the preceding practice of a measure of at least tacit toleration for those who did not follow the King's own principles. Deviation from a fairly carefully described set of religious values and practices often resulted in heavy fines under the policies of Charles I and Laud and sometimes even tougher punishments. We could say that the extension of this stricter policy had serious consequences in Scotland, leading to the "Bishops' Wars" and then to the convocation of parliaments in 1640. In this way, we can see that Laud's fall was seen secured and led to the Civil War and the eventual destruction of the monarchy. The decisions of King Charles I; they did influence the fate of the archisbishop of Canterbury and of England. King Charles I was accused of many things: among them, having betrayed the English people. The King put too much trust in Laud, so we can supposed that many of the decisions of Charles I were influenced by William Laud.

Thomas Wentworth, First Earl of Strafford

Sir Edward Osborne

He was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1628 and 1640; who remained entirely loyal to the Crown, but admitted that he found great difficulty in raising the gentry of Yorkshire to fight for the Royalist cause. During Wentworth's Lord Deputyship in Ireland, he acted as Vice President of the Council of North. As Wentworth's alternate, Sir Edward Osborne was unable to exert the same influence as Wentworth as he was, the 'representative' representative 'and therefore could not handle similar levels of authority. On the other hand, during a problem between him and Ingram; Wentworth did accept Sir Edward Osborne's version of events but was unable to immediately take action against Ingram, as he was involved in the negotiations over the leasing of the alum farm on Wentworth's behalf.

George Radcliffe

He became the King's Attorney in the North, under Wentworth 's Lord Presidency. Then, he accompanied Thomas Wentworth to Ireland, where Wentworth nominated him as an Irish Privy Councilor. Furthermore; his initial work in Ireland involved making friends with such men so that he could report to Wentworth, who could be trusted and used in their government. Effectively, with regard to the policies he could follow, and with whom his government should function, he had the potential to influence Wentworth. In addition, he discussed with Wentworth possible responses to the loan, and instead of simply following Wentworth 's lead, Radcliffe urged Wentworth to remain true to his values and reject the loan. On the other hand, he became the confidential adviser of Sir Thomas Wentworth, who was related to his wife; and they remained good friends for life and according to Straffords, in all the crises of his life it was to Radcliffe that he opened his heart. He was imprisoned in 1627, like his mentor, for refusing to contribute to a forced loan; but he shared the good, as well as the ill, fortunes of Wentworth, acting as his adviser when he was president of the Council of the North. Plus, in their campaign of harassment against the influential magnate Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, who became an implacable enemy of Strafford, they showed very bad judgment and worked patiently for his downfall over the years.

Christopher Wandesford

He was an English administrator and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1629; and who was a royalist partisan. In addition, he was closely associated with Wentworth during the Parliaments of the 1620s and they were distant cousins. Actually, in 1633 he accompanied Wentworth to Ireland, where he became Master of the Rolls; in other words, he acted as Wentworth 's deputy. On the other hand, although Thomas used his influence to help Wandesford to obtain a seat in the Parliaments of the 1620's, he had freedom in his actions and was not politically tied to Wentworth; for example, sometimes Christopher didn’t support Wentworth in Parliament. They became closer after Thomas' wife died and were good friends. Finally, before he died after a short illness; he sat in the Irish House of Commons as member for Kildare in the Irish Parliaments of 1634 and 1639 and was a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. Although it is not proven; because of the nature of their friendships, their past experiences and the fact that Wandesford gained prominence; it is very likely that Wandesford recommended certain policies to Wentworth.
