Charles 's name is Charles Phillip Arthur George, whose title of king can be selected from these four names, but in the end, Charles chose to use his own church name as the title of monarch, like his late mother Elizabeth II.
So, someone may ask questions, what are Charles I and Charles II? That is a big shot and a person who has recorded in history books all over the world.
Charles I is called Europe Song Huizong
The only king in the UK who was publicly executed
In the history textbook of the middle school, a British king Charles I was mentioned, he was the only king in British history to be publicly executed and the first monarch in European history to be publicly executed.

Charles I ascended the throne in 1625. Like his father, he advocated feudal monarchy, and regarded parliament as a thorn in his eyes. In 1629, Charles I forcibly dissolved Congress and began an 11-year period of no Congress. In 1641, some members of Congress, led by bourgeois and the new aristocrats, revised the programmatic document of the Great Protest, took the lead in accusing the government, demanding that various feudal royal powers be abolished, which could greatly weaken the royal power and create conditions for the development of capitalism . A year later, Charles I declared war on the long-standing parliamentary army, and the first civil war broke out. In the end, Congress defeated Charles I under the leadership of Cromwell , put Charles I in prison, and sent him to the guillotine three years later. The indictment accused Charles I of: "His evil purpose, behavior and war are all for satisfying personal desires and power, and ignore public interests, freedom, justice, and peace of the country."
After the death of Charles I, the British monarchy collapsed and the Republic was established.
Charles I was also known as the Emperor Huizong of the European Song Dynasty. Although he was not very good at being an emperor, his artistic taste was excellent. He has a large collection of Renaissance works, from Raphael, , da Vinci, , to Michelangelo, Holbein, Titian, etc. Moreover, he liked the works of painters such as Rubens and Van Dyke very much, and collected a large number of paintings by these two writers, especially Van Dyke left a large number of portraits for Charles I.
In addition, Charles I had good literary attainments and loved writing poetry. Legend has it that before his death, Charles I also wrote a poem "A clear conscience" to express his fear of death, but some people think that this poem was written by his subjects to commemorate Charles I.
Charles II Successfully restored
Without him, there would be no later British royal family
If Charles I played a good hand so badly, even if Charles II had a bad hand, he would eventually become a good hand.
, known as Duke of Guardian , Cromwell, after his death, handed over the power he held to his son Richard Cromwell , but Richard was obviously not capable enough to suppress the rebellious people and officers, and the British political arena fell into chaos. In 1660, the British Parliament decided to restore the monarchy and Cromwell Jr. went into exile. Stuart dynasty restoration, Charles I's eldest son succeeded to the throne, namely Charles II.
Charles II was nicknamed "King of Joy". During his reign, he indulged in pleasure, and had endless romantic affairs.
Charles II
The first thing Charles II did after the restoration was to avenge his father, dig Cromwell's body out of the grave, first storm the corpse and whip the corpse for three days, then cut off the head, and inserted it on a spear outside the of the Capitol. During the entire period of Charles II's reign, the head was inserted there. More than twenty years later, Cromwell's head fell into the hands of private collectors and became a private collector.
Cromwell's head was not buried until 1960, when Charles III was 12 years old, a secret place before the Sydney Sussex College of Cambridge University. At this time, Charles III had been the crown prince of the United Kingdom for 9 years, which also became a pitiless connection between him and Charles II.
Charles I and Charles II were both members of the Stuart dynasty in England. In 1714, the last monarch of the dynasty, Queen Anne, died, the throne was inherited by George I, from Hanover . George I was the first British monarch to speak of German , so the dynasty is also known as Hanover dynasty . The highlight of the Hanover dynasty was the Victorian era. Queen Victoria is known as the European grandmother and has married many royal families and has also brought the genes of hemophilia to various European royal families.
Interestingly, Queen Victoria once reigned for 63 years and 7 months, and the longest reign was broken by Elizabeth II. Queen Victoria's son Edward VII also served as the British crown prince for 60 years until this record was refreshed by Charles III.
After Edward VII's death, his son George V succeeded to the throne. Due to the fact that during World War I, Britain and Germany had a feud, George V issued an edict to change the royal surname to the British "Windsor". This is the origin of , the Windsor Dynasty, .
King Charles has been using it for 300 years without anyone using it
It was rumored that Charles abandoned the name
Charles officially ascended the throne at St James's Palace on October 10, tracing British history. After Charles II's death, no one has used this title again for 337 years in British history.
In fact, after Queen of England in the first half of this year, after suffering from COVID-19 , some British media were worried that the queen would abdicate, and said that Charles might not use the title of "King of Charles". The reason is that the meaning of Charles I being sent to the guillotine was too bad. Although Charles II is very popular and is called the "happy monarch", it is also very controversial because of too many illegitimate children and too many mistresses.
Former royal steward Grant Harold said in an interview with Studio 10: "Often the royal children have two to three names. The reason is that if possible, if this child wants to become a king or queen, they must have multiple different names to choose from."
According to previous reports from British media, Charles liked the title of George VII very much and hoped to inherit and possess the title, but in the end he did not choose this title.
Now, the first heir to the British throne is Charles' eldest son Prince William . If Prince William ascends the throne in the future, he will likely be called William V .
King William of England has two very important figures - William I and William III. William I was originally the duke of the Duchy of Normandy in northern France. Because he led his army to conquer England in 1066, he was nicknamed "William Conqueror". He provided favorable conditions for the establishment of the British feudal system. William III is a key figure in the glorious revolution in Britain. In 1689, William III and his wife Mary became the king of England, accepted the " Bill of Rights ", and determined the constitutional monarchy of Britain.
