These men were young, determined, uncompromising puritans. Charles was not that successful in oppressing such members of parliament and they continued to cause ongoing conflict throughout his reign.
Charles' first parliament met in June 1625. The reason for this parliament was substantially due to money issues. But things did not seem to work out from the start for poor Charles. The commons voted a mere £140,000 to Charles. The worst was yet to come because the commons only granted tunnage and poundage (customs duties for one year only) This would prove a major downfall economy wise in the future because Charles saw it fit to levy tunnage and poundage illegally as a way of improving his finances. After all, formerly, tunnage and poundage had been granted for life. Why should it change? He was successful in the fact he still illegally collected tonnage and poundage and receiving his 140,000 but he did not get enough money as he had planned for. Parliament was still uneasy and did not trust Charles as a monarch.
Cracks also began to emerge further to the tunnage and poundage issue within the first parliament. The commons became extremely concerned to the point where they criticised the government further. Bucking was widely distrusted and suspicion also bubbled over Charles' marriage to a French Roman Catholic Henrietta - Maria. Why marry a woman from enemy France? What exactly did Charles think he was playing at? The current war was also being mismanaged;.

If the members of the ruling class did not trust the way Charles was handling things, why should the ordinary' people trust him. Without trust, agreements never seem to work and that was exactly the predicament that Charles was in.
