Yes it does It was King Charles I and he closed parliament from 1628 - 1640
Charles wanted to raise taxes but parliament didn't and then he dissolved parliament for 11 years.
In a nutshell - Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings and wanted to rule as an 'absolute monarch'. Basically this means that he believed Parliament existed to serve him. Because Parliament believed differently, that the King ruled with Parliament and was not above the laws of the land, Charles and Parliament would clash and Charles would end up dismissing Parliament and trying to rule without them. A bit difficult to do, since Parliament held the purse strings. Charles would use what ever means he could find to raise money without having to recall Parliament, means that weren't always legal or ethical. In the end, when he was finally forced to call a Parliament, they turned on him; Charles tried to evict them, they refused to leave, he called an army and the Civil War began. In the end, Charles lost his head, his family went on the run and Cromwell ruled the country as dictator for several years.

He did so in 1642 when the English Civil War started
Charles ruled for 26 years. This was between when 1625 and 1651 (the day he was executed).
The struggle between King and Parliament was finally put to bed with the execution of King Charles I in 1649. For the next 11 years, Britain was ruled as Republic. In 1660, by popular consent, the monarchy was restored and Charles II returned from exile. Parliament enforced changes that would ensure that never again would a King be able to rule without Parliament (as his father had done), and if you were to fix a date when Parliament became autonomous, that would be the best you could say.
England was ruled by a Lord Protector for 12 years.
