Laud was imprisoned because he and Charles I tried to introduce the New English Prayer Book to Presbytarian Scotland. This was rebuked and the Scots rioted. A rebellion arose. Charles couldn't stop the rebellion so in the end he asked Parliament to grant him money. He had ignored them for the past eleven years, see Eleven Year's Tyranny, and MPs were angry. They would only give him the money on certain terms : Strafford executed, Laud sent to the Tower etc. Parliament didn't like Laud because he believed in the Higher Church. The puritan MPs thought this was popish and ungodly. These terms were presented in the Long Parliament.
