# Charles I is crowned in Scotland (1633)

Charles's Scottish coronation and religious policies heightened suspicion among Presbyterian elites. Within the broader Stuarts & Revolutions period, the shared monarchy of England, Scotland and Ireland produced conflicts over religion, taxation and sovereignty that culminated in civil war, revolution and union. This event is placed at 1633 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. Religious policy soon became the trigger for a wider British constitutional crisis.
