Charles I became King of England in 1625. Since the beginning of his ruling, he had to deal with a parliament that disagreed with his economic policies. In the third Parlament's meeting, in March 1628, the Parliament presented the Petition of Right (1), which sought recognition of four principles: No taxes without consent of Parliament, no imprisonment without cause, no quartering of soldiers on subjects and no martial law in peacetime. Charles signed the petition even though he didn't agree with it.
In 1629, he dismissed parliament altogether and ruled the following 11 years alone (2).
In 1637, the rise of unrest in Scotland which began when the king attempted to introduce a new form of prayer book led Charles to call parliament back into session for help since he didn't have enough funds for the war (3). However, they couldn't arrange an agreement and tensions rose even more.
In November 1641, there were more disagreements over who should command an army to suppress an uprising in Ireland, and Charles ended up trying to arrest five members of the parliament. The following year in August, The king formally raised the royal standard at Nottingham on August 22 and sporadic fighting soon broke out all over the kingdom. The Civil War had begun (4).
After long battles between the two sides, where Scottish were involved as well, the civil wars finally ended in 1848, with the "Roundheads" gaining victory (5).
