Her reigns coincided with the religious conflicts and the English Civil War (1642-1649). 

Charles I, who took over the crown in 1625 at the age of 24 and pursued a sharply Protestant and at the same time chaotic foreign policy course during the Thirty Years' War, was convinced of the idea of divine right. 

He repeatedly disregarded the resolutions of Parliament and its rights.In doing so, he overestimated his power, despite some warning signs such as the execution of his most important adviser, the Earl of Strafford. Because he did not give in, he was beheaded in January 1649 for high treason. His remains rest at Windsor Castle.

The future Charles II was only 18 years old when his father was executed. As the new king, he had to move first to Scotland and then to Normandy before Oliver Cromwell and the proclaimed republic.

Although he ruled more skilfully than his father, he also assumed that he was in the right of God and dissolved parliament several times. Charles II survived an assassination plot in 1683 and died in 1685 as a result of a stroke.

His best-known descendants today are Diana and Camilla - the two wives of Charles III.
