Root and Branch Petition

In England, petition presented to the Long Parliament 11 December 1640, calling for the abolition ‘root and branch’ of episcopacy. The petition was supported by 15,000 Londoners and a bill was introduced in the House of Commons the following May. However, Charles I would not countenance the loss of bishops and the issue was dropped. Many moderate members of parliament rallied to support both the king and the church.
