About King Charles

King Charles I was born on November 19, 1600, in Dunfermline Palace, Scotland. He ascended to the English throne in 1625 and became a central figure in the turbulent period leading to the English Civil War (1642-1651). Despite initial popularity, his reign was marked by conflict with Parliament over issues of taxation and royal authority. Charles I's controversial policies, including attempts to impose religious conformity, strained relations with Parliament and ultimately led to his downfall.

His reign culminated in the English Civil War, where Royalists (Cavaliers) clashed with Parliamentarians (Roundheads). Charles I was defeated, tried for treason, and executed in 1649, marking a pivotal moment in English history. His steadfast belief in the divine right of kings clashed with the emerging principles of constitutional monarchy, leaving a lasting impact on the trajectory of British governance. Charles I's life and reign remain subjects of historical fascination and debate, reflecting the complexities of power and politics in 17th-century England.
