GET READY FOR A REALLY AWESOME PRESENTATION!

Intro

Charles I dissolved Parliament three times between 1625 and 1629.

PreviousKnowledge Trigger

Charles dissolved Parliament

In 1629, he dismissed parliament and resolved to rule alone. This forced him to raise revenue by non-parliamentary means which made him increasingly unpopular. At the same time, there was a crackdown on Puritans and Catholics and many emigrated to the American colonies

Duke of Buckingham

The duke of Buckingham was an English courtier, statesman and a patron of arts.

George Villers (The first Duke Buckingham) was the 'lover' of Charles I.

He was involved with the failed negotiations of marriage between Prince Charles and the Spanish Infanta Maria.

He wasn't really loved by the public and favoured. James I favoured him because of his looks.

He stayed loyal to Charles I until his assassination by a disgruntled army officer in 1628.

The riot against the Scottish Prayer Book of 1637 at St Giles in Edinburgh on Sunday, 23 July 1637, was the starting point of the British troubles in the mid-seventeent century. However, after a coordinated series of protests—including the legendary opposition by Jenny Geddes at St Giles’ Cathedral—the 1637 prayer book was rejected23. The National Covenant, the two Bishops’ Wars, the Long Parliament, and the English Civil War were inevitable chain reactions of the riot against the Prayer Book1.

Ship Money

Ship money was first introduced in 1634. It's is illegal. In theory, Ship Money was not a tax, but a demand for physical warships. Each county was to provide one – two in the case of London – and the writs required to supply, provision and victual a ship of 400 tons and 160 men to crew it for six months. Or a monetary equivalent could be paid. In Berkshire’s case this was £4,000.

The riot against Scottish prayer book

To prevent the impeachment of his favourite, the Duke of Buckingham. To assert his regal authority and commandment, which he felt had been highly condemned by the disobedient and seditious members of the House of Commons.
