Charles I of England encountered difficulties stemming from his conviction in the divine right of kings, resulting in clashes with Parliament concerning his royal authority. His contentious decisions, such as imposing taxes without approval and marrying a Catholic, provoked resistance. Religious measures strained relations with Protestant factions, sparking the Bishops’ Wars. Charles’s conduct during the English Civil War culminated in his defeat by Parliamentarian troops, subsequent capture, trial, and execution for high treason in 1649, paving the way for the creation of the Commonwealth of England.
