Most important to note is the fact that Charles I betrayed his followers and the members of Parliament after losing the English Civil War in 1646. Despite the thought that Charles might&#8217;ve lost his supporters, the people had no malice thoughts about him as a leader and still respected him even after losing the Civil War. By joining with the Scottish forces in an attempt to invade England, Charles committed treason. He did it in an attempt to gain back the throne, but there was no need to go to that extent. By this, there was no valid reason for Charles to attempt an invasion and he did deserve executed.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, it is essential to understand that King Charles I was honorable with a strong sense of right and wrong. As a leader, he was respectful and loyal to his followers. However, he had a habit of escalating altercations with his enemies. Whenever there was a small challenge it would be escalated because of the attitude that he possessed. This quality is part of what pushed him to unite with the Scottish forces. Unfortunately, his pride got ahead of him and led him to be executed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In determining whether or not King Charles deserved to be executed it is important to examine the events leading up to his execution.
