King Charles I led an army of Scots into England in 1640 during the Bishops' Wars, primarily to impose his religious reforms on the Church of Scotland. His attempts to enforce the Anglican prayer book and other changes met with strong resistance, prompting the Scots to revolt. Seeking to quell the rebellion and assert his authority, Charles invaded, which ultimately escalated tensions between the monarchy and Parliament, leading to the English Civil War.
