Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, people were required on various occasions to swear oaths in support of the Crown and the Church of England.
Some of these oaths were sworn by those taking up or holding official positions and by lawyers on being admitted to the courts. Others were sworn by aliens in the process of becoming naturalized British subjects. Oaths were also sworn at times of political upheaval.
