How old is king charles' wife


Dunfermline Palace, Where Charles Was Born
 

Charles I lived from 19 November 1600 to 30 January 1649 and was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution. A number of members of the Stuart Dynasty had, over the centuries, shown a tendency to become embroiled in self-defeating and unnecessary controversy and conflict, and in Charles I this became something of a defining characteristic. This led to his eventual loss of his head: though only after a complex series of civil wars that had cost many of his subjects their lives as well. The wider picture in Scotland at the time is set out in our Historical Timeline.

Charles I managed to stir up conflict on two different, but related, fronts. The first was his belief in the Divine Right of Kings, which many viewed as an attempt by him to gain absolute power. The second was his wish to move the Church of England - and even more controversially the Church of Scotland - away from their post-Reformation Calvinist or Presbyterian leanings

Charles II (1630 - 1685)

Portrait of Charles II  ©Charles II was king of England, Scotland and Ireland, whose restoration to the throne in 1660 marked the end of republican rule in England.

Charles was born on 29 May 1630, the eldest surviving son of Charles I. He was 12 when the Civil War began and two years later was appointed nominal commander-in-chief in western England. With the parliamentary victory he was forced into exile on the continent. He was in the Netherlands when, in 1649, he learnt of his father's execution.

In 1650, Charles did a deal with the Scots and was proclaimed king. With a Scottish army he invaded England but was defeated by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. He again escaped into exile and it was not until 1660 that he was invited back to England to reclaim his throne. Although those who had signed Charles I's death warrant were punished, the new king pursued a policy of political tolerance and power-sharing. His desire for religious toleration, due in large part to his own leanings towards Catholicism, were to prove more contentious.
