Charles, without the influence of Buckingham or …

Years: 1629 - 1629
April

Charles, without the influence of Buckingham or the means in the foreseeable future to raise funds for a European War from Parliament, makes peace with France and Spain shortly after the proroguing of Parliament.

The following eleven years, during which Charles rules without a Parliament, will be referred to as the Personal Rule or the Eleven Years' Tyranny. (Ruling without Parliament, though an exceptional exercise of the royal prerogative, is supported by precedent. Opinion has shifted by the middle of the seventeenth century, and many hold the Personal Rule to be an illegitimate exercise of arbitrary, absolute power.)
