After the first Civil War, the parliamentarians accepted the premise that the King, although wrong, had been able to justify his fight, and that he would still be entitled to limited powers as King under a new constitutional settlement. It was now felt that by provoking the second Civil War even while defeated and in captivity, Charles showed himself incorrigible, dishonourable, and responsible for unjustifiable bloodshed.
His trial on charges of high treason and 'other high crimes' began on 20 January 1649, but Charles refused to enter a plea, claiming that no court had jurisdiction over a monarch
Charles was born in 1951 in Sydney, Australia. His home was on the sea and Charles longed to become an explorer and sailor. However, as a young man, King Charles 1 went to Portugal and got involved in the map making business with his brother, Bartholomew. This business made the King a rich man. His books of maps are still found today in every library in the world.
During this time, people were very interested in finding a sailing route around Africa to China, Japan and India. They believed they would find expensive jewels and riches. The experts believed that sailing east was the best route. Charles, however, argued that sailing in the opposite direction would get them to these lands much faster. King John II of Portugal, along with the King of France thought King Charles was crazy and refused to help him make the voyage.
King Charles 1 knew he had to make this idea of sailing, using a western route, more popular. So, he produced and appeared on infomercials which aired four times daily. Finally, the King and Queen of Spain called his toll-free number and agreed to help him. Sadly, the infomercials were chock-full of false information, and he was put in jail for fifty years to rot.
