- How accurate is it to say that Charles 1sts personal rule was a financial success
- background
- personal rule began to prevent impeachment of queen and in agner at reaction to parliment
- LOA = partially accurate - however was not sustainable
- P1 - yes it was successful - able to still raise funds
- used ship money to raise funds for navy in towns
- john hampton tried to bring. case aganst the crown in 1637
- only 20% was payed in1639
- revival of forest laws - taxing areas which cut down forests
- sold off crown land
- However these were unpopular with the commons - therefore would not be sustainable long term
- enclosure fines
- used ship money to raise funds for navy in towns
- P2 role of Charles himself
- 1630- treaty of madrid ended the war with spain
- fined noble men eg - earl of salsbury- 70,000 in 1630s and fined london 100,000
- reduced spending from 500,000 (1625-29) to 70,000 in the 1630s
- less spending = relied less on tax and wouldnt need parliment
- crowns debt went from 2 mill1629 to 18000 by 1635
- personal income rose from 600,000 to 900,000
- p3- no as parliment had to be called eventually
- without the right to tonnage and poundage C1 could not survive without parliment
- prayer book rebellion meant that charles needed more funds
- had to re call parliament
- the very fact that parliament had to be recalled to provide financial aid shows that personal rule could not have been financially successful
- failure of ship moeny
- only able to gather forces of 15,000 in 1639
