The Execution Of Charles I 1649 Analysis
The Execution of Charles I, 1649 In the article, The Execution of Charles I, 1649, Charles trouble as King started once he inherited the throne and he was the sole blame for his own death. His marriage to a Roman Catholic princess caused Protestants to question his rule and when “he attempted to impose an Anglican form of worship on the predominantly Presbyterian population” (page 1), this caused riots. Then he summoned Parliament to get funds to abolish the Scots uprising, but they denied it, and called on Parliament again on December 1640. Parliament and the King’s had their dilemmas, so the Civil War continued for six years. Finally, the King was charged and sentenced to death. His execution happened on 30 January 1649 and the account

Then it talks about how people took his blood, which, again, may be significant. Although Charles was martyred, flowers are placed at his statue in remembrance of him.
My prediction for Paradise Lost after reading these articles, is that for one, I predict that it’s an epic. Secondly, the epic take place during Charles reign, or could have been affected by Charles.
