CHARLES ll
After the English civil war, King Charles was accused of treason against the people of England. He was found guilty of this charge and was executed by having his head chopped off of his body. Oliver Cromwell than became head of the republic of England
to achieve the victory of ruling the country. Due to Charles the 1st not seeming to run it properly in their opinion. As the roundheads were parliamentarians, parliament went against the roylists because they wanted to have their rights and live by what they believe in. Also, King Charles I was a protestant but, he married a catholic, liked catholics and did a lot of things like catholics would. As a result, the public began to not a agree with this eventually leading onto the English Civil War.
Charles I (November 1600 to January 1649) was the King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649. Charles was tried, convicted and executed on January 30, 1649, for high treason.
We had the Civil War between the forces of King Charles I (cavaliers) and parliament (roundheads), which determined the death of an absolute monarchy; one in which the King has total authority. Eventually, the Parliament forces prevailed and deposed the King, beheading him in 1649. From then on, England was a republic, under the authority of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. His successor was not of the same calibre, and in 1660 the monarchy was restored under Charles I's son Charles II - with a much reduced authority, and answerability to Parliament.
