Why was Prince Charles the 1st prisoned?

Answer 1

Prince Charles, later known as Charles I of England, was imprisoned primarily due to his conflicts with Parliament over issues of governance and authority. Following the English Civil War, he was captured by Parliamentary forces in 1646. His refusal to compromise on his royal prerogative and his attempts to regain power led to his trial and execution in 1649. The imprisonment and subsequent execution marked a significant turning point in the struggle between monarchy and parliamentary power in England.
