Why did the English Parliament go to war with their king?
Money: One reason why there was a civil war was because of Charles money debits which previously came from James. However Charles tried to sort the money problems out by getting huge loans from London Banks. Charles never paid the London Banks back this lead to huge debts. Another problem Charles had as to money been that Charles decided to run without parliament’s assistance. One example of this was that he raised taxes without permission from parliament. This irritated the MPs resulting in them deciding to stop Charles receiving the income from the taxes which made Charles and Parliament frustrated with each other. But the main reason over power was that Charles made the parliament and England in huge debits, so that made everyone very angry with him with Charles.
