11 years
because he didnt like the fact they smelled.
Charles wanted to raise taxes but parliament didn't and then he dissolved parliament for 11 years.
Yes it does It was King Charles I and he closed parliament from 1628 - 1640
Charles I closed down Parliament in 1629. Parliament then spent 11 years in the wilderness. Charles was forces to call them back in 1640 because he needed money for supplies to fight the Scots. Lil Xtra info but there you go! xxx
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.
Actually, it was said that it was 11 years that Charles dismissed parliament.

King Charles devoured parliament because they would not give him money to waste on battles and have parties with his friends and to buy expensive gifts to make people like him more and more so he could have more friends to fight battles with. After a while he got
It was the time when King Charles I closed Parliament down for 11 years after they had refused to obey him. hope that helped :)
4 times:- 1625- 1626 after attempts to impeach the Duke of Buckingham over war against Spain and support of the French Huguenots- 1629 for eleven years (beginning Charles' "Personal Rule")- 1640 for three weeks, because Short Parliament refused to grant money to Charles until grievances were redressed.
Charles I wanted to go to war with Spain. Parliament refused to give him the money needed to proceed with this effort. Angered, Charles dismissed Parliament for eleven years. This was not popular with the populace since they now had to pay money directly to the king rather than according to laws passed by Parliament.
They argued about money, religion and power(divine right)
