Charles I

Charles I
The English Revolution was provoked by the behavior of Charles I. Charles believed in the divine right of kings and did not hold himself accountable to Parliament. In addition, he supported the Anglican church, alienating many Protestants. Defeated and convicted of treason by Parliament, Charles was beheaded.
