- His rights to raise taxes, and impose martial law / billet troops were curbed

- allowed Charles to be closer to his wife, who favoured rule without parliament
- 1629 Parliament session
- issue of tonnage and poundage and impositions had not been settled
- Charles arrested merchants who refused to pay. Caused a divide as parliament argued that this was illegal
