Charles I, Painted by Anthony van Dyck in the Mid-1630s
Charles I by Van Dyck, painted about a decade after the parliament of 1625 and after the king had stopped calling parliaments at all. The assurance in the image is the position the quarrel of 1625 had already put in doubt.
The parliament that met in 1625 granted the new king tonnage and poundage for one year rather than for life, and then went after the Duke of Buckingham. John Eliot's part in it turned a supply dispute into a constitutional one: whether the Commons could question a minister the king protected, and whether words spoken in the House could be punished outside it. Charles dissolved the session, and the argument ran on until it stopped being an argument. See the 1625 English parliamentary crisis.
