Charles I's attempt to enforce [[episcopal polity]] on the [[Church of Scotland]] led to rebellion by the [[Covenanter]]s and the [[Bishops' Wars]], then fears that Charles I was attempting to establish absolutist government along European lines was a major cause of the [[English Civil War]], although he did rule this way for 11 years starting in 1629, after dissolving the [[Parliament of England]] for a time.<ref>{{cite news |title=Charles I of England |url=https://www.worldhistory.org/Charles_I_of_England/ |access-date=17 April 2023 |work=World History Encyclopedia |archive-date=4 September 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230904043102/https://www.worldhistory.org/Charles_I_of_England/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
