This article discusses the life and time of Charles I of England. It mentions that Charles I was an advocate of the Divine Right of Kings, which is a belief that asserted that God grants the King absolute power and parliament should hold little power if at all. Consequently, parliament looked at Charles I as a threat and these two completely clashed during his reign. This article does a great job describing his early life and the things that led up to his rise and of course details his rule and the inevitable collapse of Charles I. In addition, it illustrates the economic problems and religious conflicts he had to contend with during his life.

There is certainly plenty to write about his life. In essence, it was a man who was at the top at one time and ultimately his life ended in a horrible fashion. I don't believe there area lot of historical figures that experienced life on both spectrums a King and later a prisoner. In addition, this article highlighted multiple links to learn more about his life. Honestly, after the reading it did encourage me to look for further reading on the eventful life of Charles I.
