I Guy Fawkes wanted to blow you up James because you were thinking of banning the Catholics and I am a catholic.

You are not doing the right things you're supposed to do as a king because

1; You are not looking after your kingdom

2; you are not treating your fellow people of your kingdom

Oh I could go on but I don't think I want to.

Charles I upset so many people because

1; Charles made the people of England pay ship money and if they didn't pay they would Charles would force it out of them.

2; Charles forced the Scots to use an English pray book.

3; There was a new tax introduced to pay for the army so the people had two taxes to pay, so many refused and they were sent to jail.

4; Charles made puritans upset when he married Henrietta Maria a French catholic and made changes to the church of England and there was a new English prayer book.

5; Charles also demanded that the new English Prayer Book be used in Scottish Churches. This was a very big mistake. The Scots were more anti-Catholic than the English and many of them were Puritans.

6; Charles was forced to raise an army to fight against the Scots. The English army was defeated by the Scots and Charles stupidly agreed to pay Scotland 850 per day until the matter was settled. Money he did not have!

7; In 1641, news reached London that the Catholics were revolting. As the news travelled it was exaggerated and Londoners learned that 20,000 Protestants had been murdered. Rumours spread that Charles was behind the rebellion in a bid to make the whole of the United Kingdom Catholic.

8; One of Charles I's major mistakes was that he was unable to gain the co-operation of his parliament. His determined belief in the Divine Right of Kings led to his dismissing parliament in 1629 and ruling without them.

9; The fact that he did not have a parliament to grant him money meant that he had to tax his people heavier and introduce unpleasant taxes such as ship money

10; In January 1642 Charles made what was the most foolish move of his reign. He burst into the Houses of Parliament with 400 soldiers and demanded that the five leading MPs be arrested. The five MPs had had advance warning and had fled.
