The Personal Reign was a period between 1629 and 1640, in which Charles I of England, Scotland and Ireland governed without resorting to Parliament. This period of government was covered by the royal prerogative, although that did not prevent it from causing great discontent among the ruling class.
By 1628, Carlos had already dissolved Parliament up to three times. After the murder of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, who was in charge of Carlos's foreign policy, Parliament began to criticize the king more harshly. Carlos realized that whenever he could avoid war, he could rule without a parliament.
Whigs historians often call this period "the eleven years of tyranny." The term is a reflection of the partisan nature of the activities of the time, which would eventually lead to the English Revolution. However, more recent revisionists usually refer to this eleven-year period as a period of "creative reform," since Carlos took various measures at this time to restructure the country's politics.
