From 1642, King Charles I fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War. After his defeat in 1645, he surrendered to a Scottish force that eventually handed him over to the English Parliament (the "Long Parliament"). Charles refused to accept his captors' demands for a constitutional monarchy, and temporarily escaped captivity in November 1647. Re-imprisoned on the Isle of Wight, he forged an alliance with Scotland, but by the end of 1648 the Parliamentarian New Model Army had consolidated its control over England. Charles was tried, convicted, and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and the Commonwealth of England was established as a republic. The monarchy was restored to Charles's son Charles II in 1660.

Traditionally considered one of the most popular English kings, Charles II is known as the Merry Monarch, a reference to the liveliness and hedonism of his court. He acknowledged at least 12 illegitimate children by various mistresses, but left no legitimate children and was succeeded by his brother, James.

Lets hope that as King Charles III he gives honor back to the name of Charles. If not maybe he should take the name as king Albert or George.

Methinks the U.K.'s monarchy died with Elizabeth.

British citizens who who are paying through the nose for the NHS and energy won't be happy when they see the multi billion pound bill for changing all of the mail boxes, manhole covers, etc from "ER" to "CR" ...

The Queen died from the vaccine that Prince Charles had her take..... Otherwise he would never be king.
She would have made 100 if not for the ‘jab’!!
