Why Charles 1st of England is known particularly?

Question

I mean what's the particularly reason; Charles 1st is known particularly for...what? Please can you answer me if you can. ^^"

Answer 1

Charles I was the second son of James I of England and his wife, Anne of Denmark.  His elder brother Henry, Prince of Wales died unexpectedly of illness, and Charles, who was never meant to be king became James' heir.  Charles was not the popular, handsome, and athletic heir like his brother Henry, and did not receive the same sort of education that Henry had.  

Charles was awkward and introverted.  He preferred the company of a small select group of close friends which frustrated those outside of this circle.  Charles I, like his father, James I, believed in the divine right of monarchy. In other words, that it was god who ordained the rule of the king, and that no one but god could remove the king. Beginning from the time of the Tudors, parliament had begun to play a more integral part of English society, and by the time of Charles I, parliament had control over something called, tonnage and poundage, which was related to the taxes levied on wines and import/export goods.  This Tonnage and Poundage was the main source of royal incomes.  While it was customary for T&P to be decided upon for the lifetime of a monarch, in Charles case, it had been decided at first, for only one year.  This was the beginning of a long line of clashes between Charles and Parliament.  These clashes, coupled with Charles small inner circle, and Charles' natural propensity to reacting rashly, led to the English Civil wars. Charles provoked much anger by collecting T&P bypassing Parliament approval, enforcing forced loans, and ship monies from the people.

What the English learned from Charles, was that the English people could behead the divine monarch, and that the sun would still shine; life would go on essentially.  What would follow, could be argued, was the blossoming of the English modern state.  The rump government would experiment with many different forms of government until the restoration, laying the foundation for a more modern capitalist state.

Answer 2

Seija, he was not the first king to succeed to England and Scotland. James VI succeeded as King of Scotland under that name and succeeded later as King of England under the name James I.

Charles I is most famous for losing his head.

Answer 3

The most important thing about him is that he lost a civil war and was executed by the Rump parliament (what was left after Cromwell got rid of people who didn't think like him).

After that the Rump parliament did a pretty bad job for 6 years until Cromwell did away with it and became Lord Protector.

He died and his son Richard was weak, so Parliament made a comeback and welcomed Charles II back, who had been King the whole time since his father's death.

Answer 4

He was the first king to succeed to the kingdoms of BOTH Scotland and England at the same time. His father, James VI of Scotland and James I of England, inherited the English crown after the death of Elizabeth I when he was already the King of Scotland. He was the first king to be raised within the Church of England. Charles I and the Parliament did not get along: Parliament refused to finance wars on Spain and France. Charles adjourned Parliament in 1629 and didn't call another one for 11 years! He tried to reform the Church of England to his line of beliefs.  He failed to pay his soldiers and supporters, yet spent a small fortune on works of art.

Charles I's actions led to the civil war that resulted in the abolition of the kingship. He was defeated in the war, brought to trial in January 1649 for treason, and found guilty, 68 votes to 67. He was executed on January 30.
