Yes it does It was King Charles I and he closed parliament from 1628 - 1640
1642 was a session year of the so-called "Long Parliament" that sat from 1640 to 1648. No-on 'ruled' it, since parliament made its own decisions and could be dissolved only if a majority of its members agreed. But is was established during the reign of Charles I.
Oliver Cromwell, who was a kind of dictator after the Parliament rebellion, the civil war and killing Charles I Stuart.
In a nutshell - Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings and wanted to rule as an 'absolute monarch'. Basically this means that he believed Parliament existed to serve him. Because Parliament believed differently, that the King ruled with Parliament and was not above the laws of the land, Charles and Parliament would clash and Charles would end up dismissing Parliament and trying to rule without them. A bit difficult to do, since Parliament held the purse strings. Charles would use what ever means he could find to raise money without having to recall Parliament, means that weren't always legal or ethical. In the end, when he was finally forced to call a Parliament, they turned on him; Charles tried to evict them, they refused to leave, he called an army and the Civil War began. In the end, Charles lost his head, his family went on the run and Cromwell ruled the country as dictator for several years.
