I, Charles I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, greet you. I ascended to the throne on 27 March 1625 and served until the unfortunate events leading to my execution in 1649. Born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland, I moved to England following my father's acquisition of the English throne in 1603. My beliefs in the divine right of kings shaped my reign, as I endeavored to govern in accordance with my conscience.
