Like his father, Charles I imprisoned his adversaries without a fair trial and milked the nation for money. By 1628, he needed Parliament's help and was forced to sign the Petition of Right, but he ignored the rules of it and dissolved Parliament. Charles and Laud tried to force the Anglican prayer book on the Scottish, but they revolted. Charles needed funds to quell the rebellion, so he called on Parliament again. Parliament rebelled this time, claiming that it could not dissolve without its approval. In 1642, he lashed back, bringing his troops to the House of Commons to seize its radical leaders.
