The trial of Charles I in Parliament is often considered unfair by historians and legal scholars due to its lack of due process and legitimacy. The court itself was formed by Parliament, which had a vested interest in the outcome, and many of the charges were seen as politically motivated rather than based on established law. Additionally, Charles was denied the right to legal counsel and the opportunity to defend himself adequately, raising questions about the trial's impartiality and fairness. Ultimately, the trial reflected the intense political conflict of the time rather than a standard legal proceeding.
Charles wanted to raise taxes but parliament didn't and then he dissolved parliament for 11 years.
Charles rarely opened Parliament, and they were angry with him for supporting Louis IX claim to the French throne. When Charles did open parliament he asked for money.
His conflicts with Parliament were so bad that it led to a civil war and Charles I being executed.
Charles Goodnight
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.

Charles I's trial in 1649 was considered unfair due to several factors, including the lack of a legitimate legal framework, as he was tried by a court established by Parliament without the King's consent. The trial was characterized by a predetermined outcome, with many judges already opposed to the monarchy. Additionally, Charles was denied the right to present a proper defense, and he was not allowed to appeal the proceedings, undermining the principles of justice and due process.
