The reason that Parliament keeps trying different ways of raising revenue it;s because Britain owed massive debts from the French and Indian War. So if they wanted to pay off these debts, Britain needed more revenue, or income. So they find a way to "earn" money its to raise taxes for the colonies. another way to say it's to let the colonies pay for them.

What did King Charles 1 do to the Parliament?

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.


Is it true that guy Fawkes wore a mask like v in v for vendetta?

The mask worn in the movie V for Vendetta is a face that looks like Guy Fawkes, right down the "imperial". I doubt that Guy Fawkes ever wore a mast that looks like himself. I believe that the mask is more symbolic, in that V is styling himself after Guy (Guido) Fawkes who was trying to bring down the English government by blowing up parliament. He failed and was executed. In the V movie, he is trying to do a similar thing (albeit for different reasons) ... and even though V dies just like Fawkes, V actually succeeds in blowing up parliament.
