During the U.S Civil War, England was ruled by a constitutional monarch. Queen Victoria ruled during this period. She ascended the throne when the United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the king or queen held relatively few direct political powers and exercised influence by the prime minister's advice; but she became the iconic symbol of the nation and empire. ...During the ENGLISH Civil War in 1640's, England was ruled by Oliver Cromwell and his advisors; Cromwell having assumed the title of Lord Protector. It was democratic up to a point, but the vast majority of the population were unrepresented still, and the Puritan attitudes imposed upon the people caused the eventual restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

That depends on which 1640s you are talking about. The Civil War was actually a series of wars/conflicts.

If it was the first war of the period (1642-46) or the second (1648-49), then the answer is King Charles I. If it was the third (1649-51), then it was King Charles II. The group of wars ended on September 3, 1651.

As a result of the wars, Charles I was executed and Charles II was exiled.

Queen Victoria ruled from 1837-1901, therefore making her the English ruler who was alive during the American Civil War.
