Laud, William (1573–1645), Abp. of
Canterbury from 1633. He had earlier been President of St John's College, Oxford, and Bp. successively of
St Davids (1621),
Bath and Wells (1626), and London (1628). He opposed the prevailing
Calvinist theology and sought to restore something of the pre-Reformation liturgical practice of the C of E. His work on the
High Commission and his efforts to impose liturgical uniformity aroused the intense hostility of the
Puritans. His attempt in 1637 to enforce a new liturgy in
Scotland proved to be a turning point in his career. In 1640 he introduced into
Convocation new
canons proclaiming the
Divine Right of Kings and compelling whole classes of people to swear never to consent to alter the government of the Church; the formula, known as the ‘etcetera oath’, exposed him to ridicule and had to be suspended at the order of the King. Soon afterwards Laud was impeached by the Long Parliament. He was imprisoned in 1641, tried in 1644, and executed in 1645. Feast day in the American BCP (1979) and CW, 10 Jan.
