How did King Charles die?

Answer 1

Charles II (King of England - b. 1630 - d. 1684)- Cause of Death: Uraemic convulsions.

Contrary to what many people think, Charles II was a man of quite spare eating and drinking habits. The same cannot be said of his amorous disposition: he fathered at least fourteen illegitimate children. He probably died of kidney failure, aged 54, either from a chronic kidney disease or from Mercury poisoning from the chemical experiments he liked to conduct in his laboratory. His gruelling deathbed, where all kinds of medical torture available at the time were employed by a gaggle of court physicians, was described in detail by many sources, as compiled in "The last days of Charles II" by Sir Raymond Henry Payne Crawfurd. A famous quote attributed to the king, that illustrates his sarcastic but extremely civil nature, has him apologising to the people that surrounded him on his death for taking "such an unconscionable time a-dying."

Answer 2

Charles 1st was executed by beheading on 30th January 1649, after the final defeat of the Royalist forces by Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War. His execution brought an end to the war, although there was an insurrection in 1651- the Battle of Worcester, led by Charles 2nd's younger brother Prince Rupert, in an attempt to regain Royalist control of at least part of England (but this, too, ended in defeat).

Cromwell did not want to execute King Charles, merely to get him to accept a more limited role as a Constitutional monarch who's powers were held by a democratically elected Parliament, and to abandon his notion of 'the Divine Right of Kings' (a popular belief held by many British monarchs that they had been specially apppointed by God to rule their nation). But Charles 1st would have none of it- Cromwell would not have executed him had he consented to go into exile or to remain under house arrest, but instead, the King kept escaping from prison and returning to lead his forces into battle. In the end, the exasperated Cromwell felt that the only way of getting this to stop was to have the King put to death, although he was saddened at being forced into this action and gave him right up until the last minute to agree to change his ways.
