About the author

Charles I from the House of Stuart, second son of James VI of Scots and I of England, was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until he was tried, convicted, and executed for high treason in 1649. He was the only British monarch ever deposed and beheaded.
Charles engaged in a struggle for power with the Parliament of England, attempting to obtain royal revenue whilst Parliament sought to curb his Royal prerogative which Charles believed was divinely ordained. Many of his English subjects opposed his actions, in particular his interference in the English and Scottish Churches, and the levying of taxes without parliamentary consent grew to be seen as those of a tyrannical absolute monarch.
