— On the scaffold before his execution. (30 January, 1649).
Karl I. (englisch Charles I [t͡ʃɑːlz ðə 'fɘːst]; * 19. November 1600 in Dunfermline; † 30. Januar 1649 in London) aus dem Haus Stuart war von 1625 bis 1649 König von England, Schottland und Irland. Seine Versuche, in England und Schottland eine gleichförmige Kirchenverfassung einzuführen und im Sinne des Absolutismus ohne Parlament zu regieren, lösten den englischen Bürgerkrieg aus, der mit Karls Hinrichtung und der zeitweiligen Abschaffung der Monarchie endete.
