Best Answer

to annoy parliament
King Charles II married the Catholic Catherine of Braganza because, not only was he secretly Catholic himself, but also because in her dowry, Portugal (her home country) ceded Bombay and Tangier, which opened up British trade in India, a serious political and fiscal coup.

Why did Charles I get off to a bad start as king?

Charles got off to a bad start as a king because in 1625 Charles married a french catholic princess, Henrietta Maria.(this was very unpopular with parliament) In 1626 Parliament tried to punish him for bungling a naval expedition against Spain. Charles sent two MPs to prison because of this. Then there was the question of money. When a new King or Queen came to the throne Parliament usually voted to give the monarch the income from customs duties for life but when Charles became king parliament voted to grant him the customs duties for only one year.They were trying to force him to call Parliament regularly.But Charles carried on collecting the duties anyway,without parliaments permission.

What bad thing's did King Charles do?

He (King Charles) wants to turn our protestant country into a catholic hell. He married a French Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria and this is a sign that Charles was secretly catholic!! H /e collect taxes from us and spends all the money on his favourites. He collects illegal taxes (Church Courts, ship money) from us and also uses Star Chamber to fine us heavily to raise money.They made many changes to the Churches saying they were beatifying the Church and bringing back robes for priests, statues and stained-glass windows. But all these things reminded the English of Catholicism. He has also forced us to change our prayers and services where the English Prayer Book was far too catholic. On the advice of his Queen (who was used to French politics, where the King had much more power over the way the country was run), Charles decided to arrest the five ringleaders and also attempted to get into the Commons to arrest the five MPs.
