#KingCharlesI dissolved parliament in 1629 on #ThisDayInHistory, beginning an 11-year period of English #Absolutism called the Personal Rule. When he needed more tax revenue & called a new parliament in 1640, it resulted in the #EnglishCivilWar. France should have paid attention.
To my history nerd friends, how much does this sound like #KingCharlesI
My ancestor was the one who killed #KingCharlesI. You’re welcome.

The use of legal frameworks to dispose of a sovereign had not been tried until the English did it, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1649, when the High Court of Justice opened proceedings against #KingCharlesI. He was quickly found guilty & executed (something deserved by all autocrats).
I am descended from the #regicide who beheaded #KingCharlesI. I bring this up for no reason in particular…
