Charles I was king of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1625-1649. He was of the Stuart House. His father was James I. Civil and religious liberties caused much turmoil during his reign. Charles surrendered to Scottish army in 1646 and then became prisoner of the English. He was tried and the court found him guilty of treason and he was beheaded. Here, in this illustration by Edward Dalziel, he is shown taking leave of his children before his execution. His son later reigned as Charles II. This drawing accompanied Dickens' account of the tale in his book "A Child's History of England."
