How did king Charles I of England die?

King Charles I of England was a megalomaniac religious fanatic, who dissolved Parliament after over 400 years of constitutional government, tried to rule the country as an absolute monarch, invited foreign troops into England to make war on his own people, and caused the deaths of almost 200,000 people. That was about 5 per cent of the population - equivalent to about 3 million people today. To represent him, I suggest: 1.

The royal orb and sceptre; both with holy crosses on top to represent his claim to the divine right to rule, not just reign, from his coronation in 1625. 2. A cuirass cavalry breast-plate to represent the war he made on his own people and Parliament, after 427 years of constitutional government in England; between 1642 and 1648.

3. The portrait at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carolu... which was described as "..this is no portrait - it is a declaration of war..." The same words were used in 1891 about a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. 4.

The execution block and axe to represent his death in January 1649 after being found guilty of high treason in inviting foreign troops to England. OK? Now you find one for yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
