It was less than forty years since the death of Queen Elizabeth. After her, England in the era of Charles I was a fairly peaceful place, and had been so in living memory. Charles had real hope of fulfilling his father's, James I of England (James VI of Scotland), dream of uniting the entirety of the British Isles in a single United Kingdom. Charles also shared his father's feelings in regard to the power of the crown, which James had described as "little Gods on Earth", or "Divine Right of Kings". Although pious and with little personal ambition, Charles demanded outright loyalty.

Dundee - themselves, by investing in the Indian jute industry, that brought about the demise of jute in Dundee. More recently, traditional marmalade production has fallen victim to corporate takeovers. The only J left is Journalism; the city still supports a major firm (DC Thomson) which produces a wide spectrum of publications including newspapers, children's comics and magazines. Dundee's link with jam stems from Janet Keiller's 1797 recipe for marmalade made from Seville oranges. Her son, James Keiller, was responsible for industrialising the process. Dundee's jute mills began to produce jute in the 1830s, initially to supplement linen production, although large numbers continued to be employed until they began to decline in the 1920s. The town now has a Museum of Dundee Textile Industries to commemorate the industry. Journalism is still important in.
