How did Charles I rule without Parliament? LISTEN NOW to noted authority Professor Richard Cust
worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk
On the 10th March 1629, Charles I dissolved his third parliament beginning years of personal rule which were described by his opponents as â11 years of
20 January 1649. The trial of Charles I for treason began in the High Court in Westminster Hall, London, established by the âRump Parliamentâ. Charles refused to recognise the legality of the court on the grounds that a king could not be tried by any âsuperior jurisdictionâ.
