Addled Parliament

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Addled Parliament

The English Parliament that met for two months in 1614 but failed to pass a single bill before being dissolved by James I. The king had grave financial difficulties and disputed frequently with Parliament, especially over duties levied by him.

The king financed his lavish court by the sale of monopolies. He vainly tried to persuade the Commons to vote him money without settling the members' many grievances, especially over the king's Scottish favourites. His favouritism brought him great unpopularity.
