The Long Parliament sends the Propositions of Uxbridge to the king at Oxford.  There are 27 articles, numbers 2, 5, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 23 of which require:

• Charles to swear to and sign the Solemn League and Covenant;
• That the doctrines of the (Anglican) Church of England is to be brought into conformity with the (Presbyterian) Church of Scotland;
• A board of commissioners will be established that will control the Armies of England and Scotland;
• Parliamentary confirmation of all royal appointments to the House of Lords;
• Parliamentary confirmation of all royal appointments of officers and judges;
• That the Education and marriage of the king’s children be subject to the control of Parliament;
• That declarations of war and peace are to be done only with the consent of Parliament.

       Postscript: Charles rejected the compromise.
