Who was king before Charles 1?

Queen Anne was the Monarch before King George ruling from 1702 - 1714. But the King that was before George I was William III who ruled between 1689 - 1702.There were six King Georges (of England) The last one George the Sixth (the present Queen's father) who was preceded by his brother - Edward the eighth - Who was preceded by "George the Fifth" who was their father and the present Queen's grandfather.I suspect the question related to the last King George (the present Queen's father), but the first to answer quite reasonably assumed it meant the one who never had a regnal (ordinal) number (the number after his name) until another George came to the throne. The first Queen Elizabeth was not known as Elizabeth the first until the present Queen came to the throne and Queen Victoria will have no regnal number unless there is ever another Queen Victoria.
