In 1642, King Charles I, amidst escalating tensions with Parliament over issues of governance, religion, and finance, decided to take drastic action. On January 4, 1642, he marched into London with around 400 soldiers, aiming to arrest five members of Parliament whom he accused of treason. The King entered the House of Commons, an unprecedented move since it violated the sanctity of parliamentary privilege where such an intrusion by armed forces was seen as a gross overreach of royal power. Charles I intended to seize Pym, Hampden, Holles, Haselrig, and Strode, but found they had already been warned and had escaped. His failed attempt to arrest these parliamentarians only deepened the divide between the monarchy and Parliament, pushing the nation closer to the brink of civil war. This action underscored the breakdown in trust and the beginning of the English Civil War, highlighting the struggle between royal prerogative and parliamentary sovereignty.
