Detailed explanation-1: -The escalating conflict between the king and Parliament resulted in what is known as the English Civil War (1642–1651). It was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians (“Roundheads”) and Royalists (“Cavaliers”) over, principally, the manner of its government.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was Charles’s frustration with the way politicians tried to bargain with him before granting him taxation which made him push well beyond its legal limits his right to raise money without its approval, and ended up in an acrimonious confrontation with the House of Commons in the Parliament of 1628-9.
Detailed explanation-3: -house of Stuart, also spelled Stewart or Steuart, royal house of Scotland from 1371 and of England from 1603. It was interrupted in 1649 by the establishment of the Commonwealth but was restored in 1660. It ended in 1714, when the British crown passed to the house of Hanover.
Detailed explanation-4: -Early Stuarts clashed with Parliament because they weren’t as popular as the Tudors, they weren’t as skillful at dealing with Parliament and because they inherited problems previous rulers had suppressed. How did the English Civil war lead to the rise of the Commonwealth?
