Charles I Money!

• Usually, Parliament would grant the king the
  right to raise taxes.
• Charles raised taxes without Parliament. Many
  people refused to pay

• The trouble was that Charles had offended the
  Scottish and Irish so much with his religious
  changes, that Charles needed to use military
  strenght to keep control in those places!
• He finally had to recall parliament to help him
  raise the money for these military campaigns.
• But Parliament wanted to show Charles that they
  were strong. They made demands about changes they
  wanted Charles to make.

  actually backed Charles.
