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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 is the king that refused to sign the Petition of Rights. When he asked Parliament to raise the taxes, they refused because he wouldn't sign the petition.

A Calvinist Parliament, when he refused to abolish the Church in England. [Jan.30th.1649.]
The Petition of Right."Following disputes between Parliament and King Charles I over the execution of the Thirty Years' War, Parliament refused to grant subsidies to support the war effort, leading to Charles gathering "forced loans" without Parliamentary approval and arbitrarily imprisoning those who refused to pay"
It was the time when King Charles I closed Parliament down for 11 years after they had refused to obey him. hope that helped :)

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, tried to force the Scots to use an English Prayer book, they refused and invaded England. The Bishops' wars cost a lot of money and Charles I, could not afford this so had to ask Parliament for money, and that proceeded after 11 years.
