He married a Catholic lady - the country was Protestant at the time.
- Archbishop Laud, one of Charles' ministers, made a reformation to the church - he was making it more catholic, but the country did not like this.
- He gave the Scottish the English prayer book - they said that they didn't want anything to do with England.
- Charles I was not friends with Parliament - he had dissolved them a number of times.
- Charles was making laws without Parliament's permission.
- He promised to pay the Scottish - but had no money.
- He made the people of the country pay ship money (a tax). At first, they thought they were paying this to help keep the country safe, but then they realized it was all for Charles. The people protested.
The civil war was inevitable at this stage, because the Scottish and English people did not like him. Also, he had no money to form armies to fight. Parliament had the money, but they were not on his side.
Hope this helps!!! :)
