'''The Hampton Court Conference''' was a meeting in January [[1604]], convened at [[Hampton Court Palace]] between King [[James I of England]] and representatives of the [[England|English]] [[Puritans]]. While the meeting was originally scheduled for November [[1603]], an outbreak of [[Bubonic plague|plague]] meant it was postponed until January. The conference was called in response to a series of requests for reform set down in the [[Millenary Petition]] by the Puritans, a document which supposedly contained the signatures of 1000 puritan [[Minister (Christianity)|minister]]s.

The conference was set out in two main parties by James, one party of [[Archbishop]] [[John Whitgift]] and 8 Bishops who represented the [[episcopacy]], supported by eight [[Dean court (Church)|deans]] and one [[archdeacon]], and another party of four or five moderate Puritans. Many historians and contemporary religious radicals have speculated that James, after a consultation with Whitgift, had deliberately arranged to have moderate Puritan reformers attend the conference. The ''[[de facto]]'' leader of the Puritans was [[John Rainolds]]<ref>With [[Laurence Chaderton]], Dr. [[Thomas Sparke]], and [[John Knewstubs]]. For the mainstream Anglicans attended [[John Whitgift]], bishops [[Henry Robinson]], [[Anthony Watson]], [[Toby Matthew]], [[Richard Bancroft]], [[Thomas Dove]], [[Anthony Rudd]], [[Thomas Bilson]], [[Gervase Babington]], Deans [[Lancelot Andrewes]], [[John Overall]], [[James Montagu]], [[William Barlow]], [[Giles Tomson]] and one more.[http://www.icons.org.uk/theicons/collection/king-james-bible/features/hampton-court]</ref> (sometimes Reynolds), the president of [[Corpus Christi College, Oxford]]. There were three meetings over a period of three days.

==The first meeting==

The conference set off with a meeting between James and his bishops about some of the Puritan complaints detailed in the [[Millenary Petition]], particularly the complaints about the popish terms Absolution and Confirmation. The King, after ending his talks with the bishops, claimed he was "well satisfied", and declared that "the manner might be changed and some things cleared". Private [[baptism]], especially when administered by women, would prove to be a more intense argument between James and his bishops, but James eventually persuaded them that only ministers should administer baptisms.

James then turned his attention to [[ecclesiastical]] discipline. [[Excommunication]] for "trifles and twelvepenny matters" was to be abolished, and the often hasty trial policies of the commissaries' court were to be reviewed and amended by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice. For the Puritan complaint that punishment should be enforced by [[Christ]]'s own institution, James held the view that bishops should not exercise ecclesiastical discipline solely, though he did not speak of any specific method that he would use to remedy this.

All in all, James was pleased, and had good reason to be, with the first meeting. Not only had he eloquently reached agreements on many of the Puritan demands, he also avoided any major arguments.

==The aftermath==

Soon after the conference, Archbishop [[John Whitgift]] died and the anti-Puritan [[Richard Bancroft]], who had argued against the Puritans at Hampton Court, was appointed to the [[Archbishop of Canterbury|See of Canterbury]], the King's fears led to demands that Puritan ministers adhere to each of the [[Thirty-Nine Articles]].

But the Hampton Court Conference also bore fruit for the Puritans, who insisted that man know [[God]]'s word without intermediaries, as it led to James's commissioning of that translation of the [[Christian]] [[Bible]] into the [[English language|English]] vernacular, which would be known as the ''Authorised Version'' because it alone was authorised to be read in Churches. It is now commonly described as the [[King James Version]]. Crucially, the King broadened a base of support, which under his predecessor [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]] had been narrowed through harsh anti-Catholic laws, through his moderate and inclusive approach to the problems of English religion; while alienating the more extreme Puritan and Catholic elements of English [[Christianity]].
