Who was the British monarch in 1620?
This was James 1st, who came to the throne in 1603- his predecessor, Elizabeth 1st, died unmarried and childless, which brought to an end the Tudor dynasty (which was Welsh in origin).
In those days, Scotland was still a seperate kingdom, so if an English monarch died without a successor then the throne of England passed to the Scottish king. This was James- in Scotland, he was the 6th king to be called James, but only the first one in England, so for that reason he is sometimes known as 'James the 6th and 1st'. James's surname was Stuart, so his reign ushered in the Stuart dynasty.
He died in 1625 at the age of 58, and was succeeded by his son Charles 1st.

What heppens if you say bloody Mary in the mirror 3 times?
Bloody Mary was a real person. She was the Queen of England and died in a car crash, but the whole rumor about her coming and killing or hurting you is not true. People say that if you go in a bathroom at midnight with the lights out and the door closed, and you knock on the mirror three times, then say "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary (her name three times) I stole your baby" she will come out of the mirror and choke you to death. But believe me I've tried it and it's not true.

How is an absolute monarch's power limited?
It isn't. An absolute monarch has absolute power. The power is not checked in any way. The only real way it could be limited is if the people decided to revolt and try to overthrow the monarch. In terms of law, the monarch's power is pretty much complete. I suppose that if the monarch gave some of his power to his lords it would be limited, but that means he isn't really an absolute monarch.
In a way it is limited by Popular sovereignty, which is the belief that the power of the state is created by the will and consent of the people. So in any government, the people supply the power.
The only power over an Absolute Monarch is the Divine.
