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.

When was full autonomy given to Parliament?

The struggle between King and Parliament was finally put to bed with the execution of King Charles I in 1649. For the next 11 years, Britain was ruled as Republic. In 1660, by popular consent, the monarchy was restored and Charles II returned from exile. Parliament enforced changes that would ensure that never again would a King be able to rule without Parliament (as his father had done), and if you were to fix a date when Parliament became autonomous, that would be the best you could say.


Why did they have a English Civil War?

Because people wanted to have a say in the government. There was a serious conflict between the King (James I and later Charles I) and the English Parliament. There were religious differences too. Many members of Parliament were Puritans, who wanted to purify the Anglican Church, but the kings were Catholics. Both kings tried to rule without Parliament. The only thing that they couldn't do without Parliament was to levy taxes. Charles I summoned Parliament in 1640, but shortly after dissolved it, and ruled alone. Fighting broke out in 1642 against the absolutistic royal government. The two sides were: the Roundheads (supporters of P) with the leadership of Oliver Cromwell, the other side was the Cavaliers (the Royalists, supporters of the King). Finally Parliament won and Charles I was executed.
