feb 26, 1625 - the york house conference

Description:

The York House Conference was a meeting held in 1626 between King Charles I and representatives from both houses of Parliament to address growing tensions over issues of taxation and parliamentary rights. The king proposed a new system of taxation, but Parliament resisted, arguing that such taxes could not be levied without their consent. The discussions became heated, with both sides accusing the other of overstepping their authority. No agreement was reached, and the conference ended without resolving the underlying issues. The conference set the stage for the growing conflict between King Charles I and Parliament, which eventually led to the English Civil War.
