Why did King Charles 1 refuse to accept the authority of the court?
Charles I did not recognise the authority of the tribunal, stating at the time that no court had authority over a monarch. It was the accepted truth at the time that the King's power was granted to him directly by God, and thus no mortal body had the right to judge him.

What happend to Mary queen of scolands farther?
There were two Mary Tudors - Henry VIII's sister and his daughter. His sister married Louis XII of France and became Queen Consort and on his death, later married Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.
Henry's daughter Mary succeeded to the throne as Mary I after the death of her half-brother Edward (and the 10 day reign of Lady Jane Grey). She became known as 'Bloody Mary' because of her persecution of Protestants and was succeeded on her death (there is uncertainty about the cause, although a pituitary tumour seems likeliest) by her half-sister Elizabeth I.
Why will Kate Middleton be called queen and Prince Philip not called king?
Phillip is Prince Phillip and not King Phillip because the throne of England was not rightfully his, he married in to the English Monarchy. In this instance had it been his by birth and he had married Elizabeth, Elizabeth would be Queen Consort. As it is, she is Queen Regnant and he cannot be considered Kings Consort as it is perceived a King holds more power than a Queen. So, Queen Elizabeth II is married to Prince Phillip (of Greece). He could have held the title of King had he been a King of some other monarchy by birth.

When (if) Charles comes to the throne after his Mother Queen Elizabeth passes away, he will be king regnant and his wife Camilla will be queen consort.

Therefore a King and Queen may not occur until Charles son The Duke of Cambridge and his wife the Duchess take the throne.
How was Philip II an absolute monarch?
He ruled with an iron fist and an aggressive tone when it came to his empire. He had a large empire and a large army to defend it and gain new land. The immense wealth of his land and his nobles demonstrated his power and was sometimes rather overbearing. He easily became the most powerful and hardest working ruler in Europe. He did not trust many people and would not allow anyone to help him; as a true absolute monarch would.
The House of Stuart
The first Monarch of England from the House of Stuart was King James I, who reigned from 25th March 1603.
He was succeeded by his son, King Charles I, who was executed for Treason on 30th January 1649.
From then until 29th May 1660 England was a Republic, known as The Commonwealth, governed by Oliver Cromwell.
In May 1660, the monarchy was restored and Charles I's son becme King as Charles II.
Charles II had many mistresses and several illegitimate children but no legitimate issue and was succeeded by his brother, who became King James II.
James II was forced to abdicate because of his Roman Catholicism and was succeeded by his daughter, Mary who reigned jointly with her husband, William of Orange - they were Queen Mary II and King William III.
Mary II died in 1694 and William then reigned alone until his death on 8th March 1702.
William and Mary also had no children and William was succeeded by the last Stuart monarch, Mary's sister who became Queen Anne.
Anne reigned until her death on 1st August 1714.
The period between James I (1603) and the end of Anne's reign (1714) was 111 years, but the Commonwealth lasted for 11 years, and William (who was not a Stuart) reigned alone for 8 years so that depending on your point of view, the Stuarts reigned for 111 years, or 100 years or 92 years.
The Stuart reign ended 1702. The Tudor reign ended because there were no more inhertitants to the throne. All of Henry's children could not have sex. Edward died at young age. Mary thought she was pregnant, but she wasn't and she died and Elizabeth did not want to Mary or have any sin such as sex when a part from a male's body known as the penis enters the female's back side. and then a baby is produced.
