Rebellious Parliament
King Charles I was executed because he was a Catholic king and refused to call parliament into session. The English people did not want a Catholic state but a Protestant state and were angered by Charles' hike in taxes and his distancing of parliament.
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
The English Civil War began in 1642 CE. It was caused by the struggles between Charles I and Parliament. King Charles I often raised taxes without consulting Parliament and refused to call Parliament into session.
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.
They are called Scots or Scottish.

Charles closed Parliament because they refused to help him and give him the money he needed and they were gaining to much power. The parliament had a list of demands to get more power off the King. The kings anger at the Parliament was, one of the main triggers of the Civil War. Many major demands consisting of the King to not make any important decisions in the name of religion, country or money without the Parliament approval. This made the King furious thus closing the Parliament was his only choice.
Charles I i guess you mean. It was because he wasn't aloud to but he needed the money so he collected taxes, and when he had to call parliament, they wanted to discuss their grievences so he dissolved parliament which made them more angry.
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.
