Was Charles 1 guilty or innocent?

Answer 1

He was put on trial and they proved him guilty only because there were no defence lawyers. But I think he was innocent. Here are some points:

1. He married Henrietta Maria ONLY to get and alliance with France.

2. He wasn't trained to be king because his brother died before he was going to be king.

3. He ONLY made religious changes to the church to make the Protestants more popular, but all that did was make the Puritans suspicious.

4. He ONLY dissolved Parliament to make sure that they weren't going to take away Charles' power.

Hope this helped ;)
