Parliament vs. Charles I: Relations 1629-41 (Making of a Tyrant…

- - - - Unpopular (LPA)
        Gave rights to import/export; incr. monopoly price
        = incr. product price, Monopolies - extremely valuable
        Predecessers didn't do this
  - - - Unpopular (DRL)
        Greater fine of imprisonment, also against right
        of fair trial, Parl. opposition due to Magna Carta
  - - - Unpopular (LPA)
        For local power + gov - tax on imports, exports
        Charles thought restriction an insult, break of tradition,
        Raised money whenever anyway
  - - - Unpopular (NTPA)
        Landowners liable to pay fine; ancestors erased
        forest land for people to live, now paying fines
        Used really old documents to enact fine
        Ancient forest document practically outdated
  - - - Unpopular (DRL)
        Same as above
  - - - Unpopula (DRL)
        Not agreed by parl, broke coronation oath,
        suggests Charles is trying to rule as absolute,
        rather than bound by law
- - - - Defending the Rule of Law (DRL)
        Englishmen proud of legal system - Common Law:
        people were guaranteed free trial before judge & jury,
        couldn't be imprisoned,held w/o trial, other EU countries
        didn't have this, Kings swore to uphold law in coronation
        oath boud by the law
        
        No Tax without Parliament agreement (NTPA)
        In EN, most taxes that a king raised had to go thru Parl. first,
        Raising tax without first consulting parliament = breaking
        his coronation oath, people would suspect him of trying to be absolute monarch - term used to describe king who
        did not rule with consent or for the people
        
        lol
- - - - Part 2
        Feb '31 - SC nobles, clergy, gentry had illegal General Assemnl
        to sign National Covenant; promise defense of SC church against Charles reforms - reject; Copies of covenant travel, others sign up, more nat. feeling in SC, to defend Kirk; 1st Bishops' War ('39), gather poor EN army, neither side wanted to fight; Wentworth recalled to Earl of Strafford
      - Part 3
        Charles recalls parl. to fundraise, will do it if he stops Ship money,
        he gets rid of parl. again lol = 'Short Parliament'; 2nd Bishops' War,
        invade Northumberland, Durham, Charles has to recall parliament
        = 'Long Parliament'; they attack him, make him have to execute Strafford & Laud; Charles accepts original demand in hopes of SC support, Bishops' war triggers C.war in IRE, then EN
      - Part 1

        Punishment (Prynne, Bastwick, Burton); Charles forces Book, SC rebel, Charles tries raising army ("Coat & Conduct Money
