King Charles I was executed during the English Civil War primarily due to his belief in the divine right of kings and his attempts to govern without Parliament. His authoritarian rule and efforts to impose his religious policies led to conflict with Parliament and the Parliamentarian forces, which deemed him a tyrant. After being defeated in the war, he was tried for treason, found guilty, and executed in 1649, marking a significant turning point in British history. This act symbolized the struggle for parliamentary sovereignty and the decline of monarchical power in England.
The English Civil War ended in 1651, and Parliament overthrew King James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. This means that the overthrow occurred 37 years after the conclusion of the Civil War. The events were part of a broader struggle over governance and authority in England.
