  1. Charles I accepted the Petition of Right (1628): It was a document that set specific liberties in which the King could not interfere.
  2. Charles I ruled without Parliament for 11 years (1629-1640): The 3rd Parliament was very concern about the rights granted in the Petition of Right and the fact that Charles I did not obey it. So the King decide to dissolve the Parliament and arrest 9 political leaders.

It was the first attempt of Charles I after the dissolution in 1629 to create a Parliament and stop to rule personally. The primary objective of the creation was to raise funds for the struggle with Scotland.
  4. Supporters of Charles I, the Royalists, engaged in a civil war with the Roundheads, supporters of Parliament (1642): It lasted 9 years and was divided into three different wars, the first, second, and third. It was fought principally because of the management of the English government.
