Did people like Charles I

Answer 1

The Parliamentarians (Roundheads) were mainly the only people against Charles 1, and there were a lot of them around the 1600s.

They disliked Charles because

~ He married a Catholic Frenchwoman. All people in England didn't like Catholics much because Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up Parliament and kill James 1 (Charles 1's father), was a Catholic.

~ He ruled on his own (he never let his advisors ... well, advise him)

~ He raised taxes until they were so high it was a struggle to just pay them

~ Parliament's input was frequently ignored by the King (I think ... I'm not quite sure on that fact, you'll have to look it up.)

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

There are mixed opinions.

On one hand, people wanted Charles to be executed because he introduced taxes, started a war, was a traitor, and was generally quite greedy and sneaky.

But some did like him - mainly out of fear, but also becasue Charles claimed that it was God who appointed him as King. Some also believed a country could only function with a King.
