Some see it as a lawless reprisal against a political opponent, while others consider it a watershed moment for the rule of law and the authority of Parliament. Undoubtedly the sequence of events was a key milestone in the decline of the British monarchy and the relative rise of Parliament, eventually leading to the symbolic and largely neutered royals of the modern era.<\/p>\n<p><strong>His Son\u2019s Short Reign<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charles I\u2019s son, King Charles II, was formally crowned days after his father\u2019s death. Born May 29, 1630, Charles II was caught up in a complex web of civil wars and forced into exile in 1651. He would spend the next nine years in France, before he was invited back to England and restored to the throne after the death of Oliver Cromwell, the de-facto leader during the period without a king.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-435507\" class=\"wp-image-435507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/King-Charles-II-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"King of England Charles II (1630 - 1655) lands at Dover and is greeted by a cheering crowd, circa 1655.
