who did the restoration restore to power in england
Restoration (England) The Restoration of the English monarchy took place in the Stuart period. It began in 1660 when the English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under King Charles II. It followed the Interregnum, also called The Protectorate, that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
English Reformation Few monasteries, chantries, and guilds were reinstated. "Parish religion was marked by religious and cultural sterility,"[73] though some have observed enthusiasm, marred only by poor harvests that produced poverty and want.[74] Full restoration of the Roman Catholic faith in England to its pre-Reformation state would take time. Consequently, Protestants secretly ministering to underground congregations, such as Thomas Bentham, were planning for a long haul, a ministry of survival.[75] Mary's death in November 1558, childless and without having made provision for a Roman Catholic to succeed her, would undo her consolidation.
