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.

Why did Charles I get off to a bad start as king?

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.
