After Charles was crowned, Parliament quickly realized that there was little hope for change from James' unpopular policies. Charles believed that his monarchy gave him the absolute authority to rule as he pleased, without the need to seek guidance or approval from Parliament. He attempted to bypass the Parliament when he levied taxes to pay off debts accrued by his predecessors; after Parliament passed the Bill of Right in an attempt to limit Charles' power, he dissolved the body. Charles managed to simultaneously anger Protestants over his peace with France and Spain (as well as his marriage to a Catholic princess from France), as well as Catholics who wished for freedom to practice openly. In 1642 these issues came to a head with the English Civil War, during which Charles had this particular coin minted. The result of the war was the beheading of Charles in 1649 and the institution of the Commonwealth of England, which Oliver Cromwell controlled until Charles' son Charles II returned to England to retake the throne.elow
