This chapter examines Charles II’s political and military problems during the Third Anglo-Dutch War as he once again attempted a policy of religious toleration. With the country at war, Charles was confronted with the dilemma of appointing a commander for his army and with the problem of how to discipline this newly increased force. But even more difficult was his relationship with parliament, which was intensely suspicious of the army. Parliament remained deeply concerned that the army had been infiltrated by Catholics. Moreover, parliament continued to be apprehensive of Charles’s plans for his army, particularly when the army was enlarged to fight a war with France in 1678.

This chapter examines the early Georgian army’s political allegiances and analyses how the soldier-kings George I and George II and their ministers set about creating loyalism within the army. There was little support for the ’15 Rebellion among the king’s troops. Nonetheless, Jacobites still hoped that the army would intervene to restore the Stuart claimant to the throne, as it had in 1660, and this belief was a central component of Jacobite plotting in the early 1720s. But while George I and George II’s army remained loyal to them, it was beset with national resentments, particularly during the War of the Austrian Succession, when George II favoured his Hanoverian army.

William III immediately took Britain into the Nine Years’ War against the French. This chapter examines how William purged the army of James VII and II’s supporters in order to fight the war. However, William was never certain of his new army’s political loyalties. Nor could he trust its British senior officers, some of whom, such as John Churchill, the future duke of Marlborough, had joined William in 1688 but had become alienated from him. William’s relations with parliament were equally troubled, and never more so than during the biggest political crisis after the end of the war, the standing army debates over the peacetime army.
