- The prospect of a Spanish dowry from a marriage between Charles, Prince of Wales and the Spanish Infanta, Maria was a potential source of income for James I, who sought ways to rule without depending on the Commons for subsidies.[1] The policy of the "Spanish Match", as it was called, was supported by the Howards and other Catholic-leaning ministers and diplomats— together known as the Spanish Party— but deeply distrusted in Protestant England, a sentiment voiced vociferously in the Commons when James called his first parliament for seven years in 1621 to raise funds for a military expedition in support of Frederick V, Elector Palatine .
By the 1620s, events on the continent had stirred up anti-Catholic feeling to a new pitch. A conflict had broken out between the Catholic Holy Roman Empire and the Protestant Bohemians, who had deposed the emperor as their king and elected James's son-in-law, Frederick V, Elector Palatine, in his place, triggering the Thirty Years' War .[2] James reluctantly summoned parliament as the only means to raise the funds necessary to assist his daughter Elizabeth and Frederick, who had been ousted from Prague by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1620. The Commons on the one hand granted subsidies inadequate to finance serious military operations in aid of Frederick,[3] and on the other called for a war directly against Spain.[4]
In November 1621, led by Sir Edward Coke , the Commons framed a petition asking not only for a war with Spain but for Prince Charles to marry a Protestant, and for enforcement of the anti-Catholic laws.[5] James flatly told them not to interfere in matters of royal prerogative or they would risk punishment;[6] to which provocation they reacted by issuing a statement protesting their rights, including freedom of speech.[7] Urged on by Buckingham and the Spanish ambassador Gondomar , James ripped the protest out of the record book and dissolved Parliament.[8]
Denied the military option, James ignored public opinion and returned to the Spanish match as his only hope of restoring the possessions of Elizabeth and Frederick. When negotiations began to drag, Prince Charles, now 23, and Buckingham, decided to seize the initiative and travel to Spain incognito,[9] to win the Infanta directly. Arriving in Madrid on 17 February 1623 to the astonishment of King Philip IV , the impetuous delegation proved a desperate mistake. Charles and Buckingham had no idea that Maria was strongly averse to marrying a non-Catholic and that the Spanish, who had been protracting the marriage negotiations to keep British troops out of the war, would never agree to such a match unless Charles converted to Catholicism and pledged to repeal the anti-Catholic laws.[10] Though a secret treaty was signed, the prince and duke returned to England in October without the Infanta, much to the delight of the British people.[11]
Embittered by their treatment in Spain, Charles and Buckingham now turned James's Spanish policy upon its head and called for a French match and a war against the Habsburg empire.[12] To raise the necessary finance, they prevailed upon James to call another Parliament, which met in February 1624. For once, the outpouring of anti-Catholic sentiment in the Commons was echoed in court, where control of policy had shifted from James to Charles and Buckingham,[13] who pressured the king to declare war and engineered the impeachment and imprisonment of the Lord Treasurer , Lionel Cranfield , earl of Middlesex , when he opposed the idea on grounds of cost.[14]
The outcome of the Parliament of 1624 was ambiguous: James still refused to declare war, but Charles believed the Commons had committed themselves to financing a war against Spain, a stance which was to contribute to his problems with Parliament in his own reign.[15]

- List of Masters
The head of Trinity College is the Master. The first Master was John Redman who was appointed in 1546. The role is a Royal appointment and in the past was sometimes made by the Monarch as a favour to an important person. Nowadays the Fellows of the College, and to a lesser extent the Government, choose the new Master and the Royal role is only nominal. A complete list of the Masters of Trinity is below.
