III. Introduction: The English Civil War was fought between the "Royalists" or supporters of Charles I and the "Roundheads" supporters of Parliament. Like his father, Charles I believed in "divine right". However, Parliament did not believe that the monarch was entitled to absolute power. Therefore, Parliament wanted to limit the powers of the English monarchy. Charles became king in 1625 and immediately he started fighting with Parliament over taxes, his right to imprison people, and over religion. In 1629, Charles I abolished Parliament and tried to rule as absolute monarch for the next 11 years. In 1640 Charles I recalled Parliament in order to raise funds to fight a war in Scotland. Civil War broke out when Charles I tried to arrest members of Parliament. Parliament ended up winning and put Charles I on trial for treason. He was later executed.
