Charles I Quotes

A collection of quotes by Charles I.

Charles I (1600-1649) was the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649. He faced numerous conflicts during his reign, most notably the English Civil War, a power struggle between the Royalists and Parliamentarians. Charles I's reign was marked by strained relations with Parliament, his belief in the divine right of kings, and his resistance to cede political authority. This ultimately led to his defeat in the civil war and subsequent trial and execution, making him the first English monarch to be dethroned and killed by his own subjects.
