- reasons for personal rule
- Buckingham
- Flirted with the french queen which caused tension with france
- parliament saw the king to be over reliant on Buckingham to lead expeditions and make foreign policy decisions
- Cadiz 1625 - an attack on spain leade by buck. they found wine and got drunk, abnandoning the mission. they were also severely underprepared
- expedition to the rhe, which was in the path of getting to la rochelle to help protestants. he was too in experiences, didnt recieve enough aid or resouces
- ladders too short
- charles defends him but parliament were suspicious of wherre their subsisides had gone
- parliament disliked him because of monopolies under james
- Parliaments own actions
- foreign policy meant they wouldnt grant subsidies
- their failure to vote subsidies made defeat in wars more likely
- the promotion of arminians led to parliament attacking those whoa greed with the royal perogative
- imprisoning mainwering, but charles pardonned him. this upset parliament as they felt their rights had been violated
- buck reduced the power of privy council so they didnt like him
- refused to grant tonnage and poundage for frist time since 15th centure
- wouldnt give cahrles funds to try pressure buckingham out
- they openly celebrated buckinghams death,causing tension
- bill of right
- but limits on the king, unparliamentary taxation, martial law, imprisonment without cause, forced billeting for soliders
- Charles himself
- blamed parliament for bucks assassination
- charles felt he didn't have to explain his policies to parliament
- was painfully shy because of his stammer, didnt debate his policies effectively
- 5 knights case, charles tried to force loans, people were arrested for not paying them. they stated habeus corpus, but charles overruled
- charles was untrusted because when the 5 knights were imrisoned parliamnet had made a petition of rights
- he kept changing his mind as to whether he would accept or not, so they difn ttrust him anymore
- long term factors like james 1
- a decision made by james was that England would ally with france against la rochelle, where there were protestants in a catholic country (france)
- Britain was a protestant country against a protestant area, allied with catholics
- this was caused by james wanting to secure marriage with spanish princess for charles
- Britain was a protestant country against a protestant area, allied with catholics
- james' decisions meant that charles would be involved in two wars at once, making it extremely difficult for him
- he needed funds, taxes and subsidies which caused issues
- james also used royal perogative to gain funds, not parliamentry taxation
- inherited a difficult situation
- the army had always been neglected, so had to import soliders at a huge cost, from netherlands
- a decision made by james was that England would ally with france against la rochelle, where there were protestants in a catholic country (france)
