General Notes:
beheaded; the only English King to be publicly executed.
Burke says he married 11 May 1625 or 1 May. The Complete Peerage v.XIIpII.914
He believed that God had made him a King, so he did not need to consult his
subjects. He managed to rule without a Parliament until 1640, and tried to
force his Scottish subjects to accept English Church services. When this led
to a war he could not afford, he promised to share some of his power with
Parliament. People no longer trusted him and England slid into Civil War.
