ship money is a tax that king Charles intruduced while he shut down parliament for 11 years. ship money was normally used to improve army in times of war. but there was no war then. and people had to pay it who had to drive miles to see the sea. Charles just wanted the money all to himself ,as parliament owned all the money and he had shut it down. people who refused to pay ship money was put into the star chamber!
