Best Answer

The main problem was that he genuinely believed he was divinely ordained to be king - he thought god had "picked" him to be king, so he was therefore infallible. He also had many affairs both with young men and women - although having affairs is something of a tradition for monarchs.

Who was the king after Charles 1?

There wasn't a King after King Charles I but there was Oliver Cromwell who ruled even though he wasn't supposed to. He was mean and strict, so the people kicked him out of Parliament and made King Charles II king, who was King Charles I son. Answer the question? Not to forget that there was a civil war, the Royalists (Kings people) against the Parliamentarians, who incidentally won that war. The country and Parliament realised having Oliver in charge as the Protector was not such a good thing, and as usual people close to him plotted and he was replaced by Charles 1 son Charles 11.
