King Charles I
Headless English sovereign
King Charles I was the monarch of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649.
His conflicts with Parliament over taxation and religious policy led to the English Civil War.
Defeated by Parliamentary forces, he was tried for treason and beheaded—the first English king to be publicly executed.
His reign and death shaped debates about royal authority and parliamentary power.
