No. You are probably thinking of King Charles I (1600 - 1649), son of James I and father of James II. During the English Civil War (1641 - 1651), the army of Royalists loyal to the king, were eventually defeated by the Parliamentarian army loyal to Oliver Cromwell. Charles I was tried for treason to the people and executed on 30 January 1649 outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. He was very brave, and wore two shirts because he did not want people to think he was shivering with fear. In 1660, his son, Charles II, was returned to the throne as king within two years of Cromwell's death, and the monarchy restored (the Restoration).
