Sir Edward Hyde, Your Majesty.
:20:04
-Well, Sir Edward?
-Your Majesty.

:20:06
l believe the House will grant a loan
to the Crown.

:20:10
But only on certain conditions.
:20:13
Conditions?
What do you mean, conditions?

:20:17
What are these conditions, Sir Edward?
:20:20
ln essence, sire...
:20:21
...that the Crown relinquishes
all authority over Parliament.

:20:26
And who put forward this proposal?
:20:31
John Pym, Henry lreton,
John Hampden.

:20:35
The Puritans.
:20:37
-They were well supported, my lord.
-And they call themselves Englishmen?

:20:43
My God, it"s enough to make
a man deny his birthright.

:20:46
Yet, withal, they still be Englishmen.
:20:49
They make a mockery of the Crown!
:20:52
They abuse the privilege of
free speech with sedition and treason.

:20:57
You"re too loud, Lord Strafford.
lt is most unpleasant to the ear.

:21:05
So it has come to this, my lord.
:21:07
-That you now bargain for your crown.
-What would you have me do?

:21:13
Arrest every man who opposes me?
Hang them?

:21:16
Would you rather make a gift
of the Crown of England...

:21:19
...to the rabble in the street?
:21:22
lt lies beyond my power to arrest
a citizen without proper charges.

:21:27
Charges are immaterial.
:21:30
Such an act would subvert the
fundamental laws of this land, madam.

:21:34
Such an act might save the
Crown of England, my lord.

:21:39
l"ve governed this country justly
and fairly these 1 2 years...

:21:43
...without reference to any Parliament.
:21:47
You may be assured, l do not intend
now to be schooled in my high office...

:21:51
...by illiterate farm hands, cobblers...
:21:56
...and basket weavers.
:21:59
My Lord Strafford, you will rid us
of these troublemakers:
