Was there ever a time in England when the power and privleges of the aristocracy was challenged? I know that there were times when kings were challenged and even executed...but was there ever a serious attempt to tear the whole thing down and start over? My impression is that there was always just enough change to keep things from exploding...at least after the return of the king (Was it Charles II?)
