  • Charles III Predecessors Charles I And Charles II Of England: "King Charles III": is the address chosen by the new British king. He could have chosen for his other three first names, Philip Arthur or George, but he chose Charles III. Which immediately raises the question: who were his predecessors Charles I and II of England ?

    The Stuart dynasty is definitely one of my favourites to study. Originating in Scotland, they came to rule all of modern day UK and Ireland. King James would try to revive absolutism but was fortunate enough to survive. Thank you for this informative video. Charles II "The Merry Monarch" and his brother King James did not receive much of a formal education during their exile and their lax view toward education would be mirrored in the way they educated the future Queen Mary II and Queen Anne but this did not mean they weren't intelligent, it was quite the opposite actually.However, Charles II was real savvy when it came to personal finances and was able to secure a fantastic allowance from France. He is also important to the history of the Quakers, being the one who granted the land to William Penn who established Pennsylvania.

    Charles III was named after the Norwegian King Haakon, originally named Karl (Charles) before he became king. He was the grandfather of the current Norwegian king (Harald) and was very dear to Elizabeth II. Haakon was the brother of the Danish king Christian, and both Haakon, Christian, and Elizabeth share parents or grandparents. Charles III name has nothing to do with his namesakes in British history. The present British king has roots in Scotland and Denmark-Norway.

      King Philip would be far more more dubious if you want to look at the history of English kings. Mary I (aka Bloody Mary who burned nearly 300 people alive) made her husband Philip, king. King Philip was also king of Spain and presided over the Spanish Inquisition, and later sent the Spanish Amanda against England.

      @@brontewcat I was surprised he didn’t choose George VII as his regnal name, too.
      But his parents probably knew what they were doing when they chose to call him Charles - and although the relationship between him and his father was noticeably fraught on occasion, Charles would certainly have taken his mother’s guidance.
      Still, the earlier Charles’ set a pretty terrible example of kingship - both of them were theologically wobbly in a time when Catholicism was the 17th C equivalent to communism today.
      Charles I was so insensitive to the opinion of commoners that they eventually cut his head off, while Charles II was a Trump-like philanderer who filled a London suburb (Fitzrovia) with his illegitimate offspring, involved himself in dodgy deals with Catholic France (Vlad Putin not having been born yet) and did a deathbed conversion to Popery. Not what the British expected of the head of the Church of England.

    Well summarised, if a little concentrated on the negative aspects of both monarchs.
    Charles I was also a loving family man, brave and his execution was shocking. A large crowd greeted the act with a deep groan. They seemed to have been very happy to welcome his son back 11 years later.
    Charles II was very popular with his subjects. Yes he was wasteful with wars, but at the time this what was expected of kings. Much of the time war was quite popular. Charles reportedly got into his short sleeves and fought the great fire of London alongside his citizens.

    The most famous of his lovers was Nell Gwynn and for me personally the most beautiful was Louise de Kerouille but the most powerfull was aparently Barbara Palmer. She not only gave him the most kids 3 boys and 3 girls but allso she became the Duchess of Kleaveland suo jure (In her own wright). Btw Barbara`s last child Barbara (Benedicta) Fitz Roy was believed to be the daughter of John Churchil 1st Duke of Marlborough who was a lover (and allso a cousin) of Barbara Palmer. However Charles II was persuaded to recognize Barbara Fitzroy as his own daughter by Barbara Palmer herself. Barbara (Benedicta) had an illagitamete son whit James Hamilton 4th Duke of Arron. Barbara (Benedicta) was sent to a monastery in Normandy where she was known as Sister Benedicta and became the prioress. Her illagitamete son Charles Hamillton Count of Arran was raised by Barbara Palmer herself and got married to a woman named Antoinette Courtney of Archambaud. They had a son Charles Hamilton James Count of Arran who married Catherine Napier and had 2 kids Lt.Col Ser William James and a daughter Anne James.

    He should have gone with "George VII". George V and George VI - Charles' grandfather and great-grandfather) were both great kings who lead the country and the monarchy through the most turbulent times in history. Last of four of Charles' given names is George, same as George VI's. Nothing wrong with "Charles III" by itself, but opting for "George" as his regnal name would be closer to the most recent dynastic tradition.
    Anyway, God bless King Charles III.

    Charles I believed in the divine right of kings but had not the political savvy of his father James I, who believed the same things. Charles was so heavy handed in his seeking to maintain this divine right that they killed him
    Charles II was a debauch.
    I would have thought that given the unfortunate history of previous kings of England named Charles that the son of Queen Elizabeth II would have chosen a different name, and one less unlucky .
    But he had been known as Charles for so long that maybe it was not practical
    I was a zealous monarchist for over 40 years but it dissolved last year.

    Some people including Professor John Morill from Cambridge University believe that The Wynn family of Gwydir castle in the Conwy Valley in North Wales are probably the very first family to get the hereditary title of Baronette bad thing is that it stays in the main family for only 4 generations the last baronette was Ser Richard Wynn The Younger after his death the title went to John Wynn 10th son of the first baronette Old Ser John because Ser Richard Wynn The Younger had no sons he and his wife Lady Sarah daughter to Ser Thomas Myddelton only had 1 daughter the lovely Lady Mary ho was married by her grandmother Lady Grace to Robert Bertie the later Duke of Ancaster and Kastevan Lady Grace Wynn herself was a daughter to Hugh Williams and so a niece to John Williams the Archbishop of York

      There is no conclusive proof that Edward IV was illegitimate. Either way it doesn't matter.

All other lines are excluded, including all the other shady Plantagenet lines of descent. And that is the end of that.
