King Charles III: when did King Charles I and II reign in the UK - and how long were they on the throne for?
Charles I was born in Fife, Scotland on 19 November 1600 and became King in 1625, but his reign was marred with discontent.The first of these wars was with Scotland in 1637, Ireland in 1641, and then within England from 1642-46 and then in 1648.
When Cromwell’s forces were victorious in the second civil war, they put the King on trial for treason, believing that permanent peace was impossible with King Charles I still alive.
