How did the king defend his power during the English Revolution of 1640-1660?

The king at that time wanted to strengthen his autocracy more. He strove to return the order of absolute monarchy to the country. To do this, he wanted to limit and then dissolve parliament. When the king realized that his attempts were in vain, he resorted to military force. Thus, a civil war began in the country. This internal conflict ended with the victory of the English Parliament, and the king himself was executed.
