Abstract

Pattern and order were a theme close to the heart of orthodox churchmen of the early-mid-seventeenth century. For clerical families, as exemplars for the rest of society, it was particularly important to demonstrate conformity to patriarchal expectations. This chapter considers the ways in which family structures and patterns broke down under the pressures of Civil War, and the ejection of loyalist clergy from their livings, with varying consequences for loyalist families. In the worst cases, there was a negative impact down to subsequent generations. For others, group loyalties and identities were ultimately strengthened by such experiences, with existing family patterns reinforced towards a more affective model of family life.
