Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649. He famously engaged in a struggle for power with the Parliament of England. As he was an advocate of the Divine Right of Kings, many in England feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power. There was widespread opposition to many of his actions, especially the levying of taxes without Parliament's consent.

He was executed by the Puritan extremists ( by one vote majority) in 1649. Oliver Cromwell then ruled ENGLAND as Lord Protector until his death in 1658. With England on the brink of another Civil War, Charles 11, the son of the martyred Charles 1, was restored to the throne, and ruled- The Merry Monarch- until his death in 1685. Being without children, his Catholic brother , james 11, became his successor, and was oveerthrown in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 bringing William of Holland to the throne with his wife, James' daugter, Mary. The only co-rulers in English History. They too had no children,.and in 1701, Mary's younger sister, Anne became Queen. When she died in 1714, the Throne passed to the Hanovers of Germany, and the Stuart Dynasty was no more.

He lost his head and when he found it, he could not reattach it. It is a good picture of what radical conservative fundamentalist can do when they want their way really bad. Cromwell, who lead the Revolution, took over authority after ChucK I was beheaded, but when he died, no one wanted to take over after him, so Charles II came back and retook the throne.
Truth is that even fundamentalist cannot agree on how things should be done.

he was beheaded for manifestly trodding on the rights and perogatives of his dukes and lords,barons and earls;and also of the english population at large!!!!he believed in "the divine right of kings"to rule as they saw fit,to tax any monetary source,to to make war when no salutory outcome would accrue for the effort and expense incurred,to draw troops and levies from an unwilling and generally unsympathetic populous....etc.!his flagrant disregard for the rights of others brought him into more and more trouble until his regal and lordly supporters were constrained to rebel in the battles of the cavaliers against the "roundheads"a more protestant and republican group to be sure..who brought forth oliver cromwell and his ilk to power after the king's demise and execution..beheaded with the executioner's axe on the block!!
