After Parliament refused to grant Charles I war funds, he attempted to assert his authority by dissolving Parliament in 1629 and ruling without it for eleven years. This period, known as the Personal Rule, saw him impose taxes and levies without parliamentary consent, leading to increasing tensions and resentment among his subjects. Ultimately, his actions contributed to the outbreak of the English Civil War as conflicts escalated between royalists and Parliamentarians over issues of governance and authority.

No reason not to ask, but he had to be willing to take no for an answer. Being refused money is not something to lose your head over.


What did King Charles 1 do to the Parliament?

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.
