The 11 years of closed Parliament in England, from 1629 to 1640, is referred to as the "Personal Rule" of King Charles I. During this period, Charles ruled without calling Parliament, leading to increased tensions between the monarchy and Parliament. His attempts to govern without parliamentary consent and impose taxes contributed to the eventual outbreak of the English Civil War. This period ended with the "Short Parliament" being convened in 1640.
