According to the text, although he had a \u201csense of humor,\u201d and was said to be loyal, he was still a tyrant. And taking into consideration that it takes a lot of boxes to check when it comes to labeling someone a tyrant, it makes the question easier to be answered. Interestingly, what made me question the question is the fact that King Charles I was not the first king to be executed, so why was it such a big deal. But, moving forward, however, I realized this execution was very public and blunt. At this point, it was inevitable for me to compare the execution of King Carles I to the crucifixion Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am not saying that Jesus too was a tyrant, but the amount of publicity and controversy that is put upon the death of King Charles I parallels those seen as Jesus is called to death. Unlike Jesus, King Charles I was as described int he text, selfish as he called for war for his personal gain, killed, and was himself an enemy to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When asked if King Charles I deserved to be executed\u2026 my answer is yes.
