Detailed explanation-1: -Personal Rule Charles was furious. He dissolved Parliament and for 11 years, from 1629, he ruled the country without any Parliament at all. This period became known as Charles’s Personal Rule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although opponents later called this period ‘the Eleven Years’ Tyranny’, Charles’s decision to rule without Parliament was technically within the King’s royal prerogative, and the absence of a Parliament was less of a grievance to many people than the efforts to raise revenue by non-parliamentary means.
Detailed explanation-3: -He dissolved Parliament when faced with opposition, effectively ruling alone on a number of occasions. In his first four years of ruling he dissolved parliament three times, once for 11 years. He would only reassemble Parliament to raise funds when he ran out of money because of expensive foreign wars.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the centre of the conflict were disagreements about religion, and discontent over the king’s use of power and his economic policies. In 1649, the victorious Parliamentarians sentenced Charles I to death.
