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.

The Puritans came to power during the English Civil War after they came out in opposition to William Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time. They called for reform within the Church of England, that would eliminate Bishops, and set up the Church of England along Presbyterian guidelines. The English Civil War is sometimes known as the Puritan Revolution.

As of September 2021, the Archbishop of Canterbury is Justin Welby. He is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England.
Archbishop Laud was a religious reformer in England in the C17th. He was made Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633 by King Charles II. The two of them shifted the church in a new direction, replacing the Calvinist ideals of the early C17th with ones that were more Arminian.
He was Head of the Church of England from 1633 to 1645. He was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 to 1645, and before that was Bishop of London; the King (Charles I) was Head of the Church of England
He was a High Church man and an extreme monarchist - a real 'throne and altar' type of the worst sort. If people made fun of the king, Laud was quite happy to have their ears chopped off.
Charles I's deeply unpopular advisors were Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, and William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. Wentworth was known for his aggressive policies and persecution of his critics, while Laud was criticized for his promotion of anti-Puritan policies and attempts to impose Anglican practices on the Scottish Church. Both advisors played significant roles in exacerbating tensions between the King and Parliament, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the English Civil War.
