In 1634, Charles I introduced the "Ship Money" tax, which was originally a levy historically imposed on coastal towns to fund naval defense. However, he extended this tax to inland areas, prompting significant controversy and opposition. The tax was seen as an overreach of royal authority and contributed to rising tensions between the monarchy and Parliament. This move was a key factor leading to the English Civil War.
