Charles I was king of Britain in 17th century. His main importance lies with his protracted wrangle with Parliament as to the right to rule as King. For a period, he ruled alone without Parliament as an absolute monarch and this gave cause to the English Civil War in 1640's. Parliament was a long way from being representative of the people, being selected by the wealthy landowning classes - and choosing wealthy landowners as a result - but was better than nothing to avoid a Dictatorship.
The upshot was that a reigning monarch was arrested, tried and condemned to death by beheading. On 30 Jan 1649, Charles I became the one and only crowned monarch to be executed, thus cementing his unwelcome place in history.
