| Research Abstract |
This research presents three findings. Firstly, in early modern England, the features of the system of the naturalization are its multilayered and variable one. Additionally, by the act in 1609, it seems to conclude that religion provided the crucial definition of nationality and difference between the selfness and the otherness. Secondly, this research reveals the details of naturalized subjects and denizens. The result indicated that the target for naturalization shifted gradually from the Scottish and the English children who were foreign born to aliens from abroad. Thirdly, the result of investigation into the status of the English-born children of aliens in early modern London shows that Londoners recognized these children not as natural born subjects, but as aliens. In conclusion, authorities in London accepted a notion of belonging, namely Englishness, which was grounded in parental lineage rather than in birth in the territory of the sovereign.
