Charles I |
V. Charles I, King of England, son of James I, King of Britain & Anne (of Denmark Oldenburg) Stuart, b. 19 Nov 1600, Dunfermline Palace, Fife, Scotland; d. 30 Jan 1639, Westminster Abbey, London, England, beheaded, by order of a court of his own people; bur. St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, England; m. 13 Jun 1625[ii], St. Augustine’s Church, Canterbury, England to Henrietta Maria of France de Bourbon .
To some Charles is viewed as a tyrant while by others a martyr. He was a shortsighted and self-centered man, yet a patriot and in some aspects an able man. What he truly lacked was the ability to understand the public mind. Had he been able to he would have as easily guided Parliament as Elizabeth had done, and the public would have followed him loyally. Charles resented the squires and lawyers who talked of their rights and refused to supply the king with money.
Charles I was crowned King of Britain on 2 Feb 1626. When Charles came to the throne the monarchy was near bankruptcy. The road blocks to every thing that the new king wanted to do were stopped by lack of money. The Commons would not vote him any new funds until he agreed to their demands for power. Charles would not hear of this. He dismissed Parliament and proceed to collect “illegal” taxes, fines and such.
He engaged in war with Spain and France. His treatment of the Catholics was not unfriendly in his country, but the war was not popular. He believed that God had made him a King, so he did not need to consult his subjects. He managed to rule without a Parliament until 1640, and tried to force his Scottish subjects to accept English Church services. When this led to a war, he could not afford, he promised to share some of his power with Parliament. People no longer trusted him and England slid into Civil War.
Charles I, ruled 1625-1649. Charles holds the distinction of being the only English King to be publicly executed.
