Charles

Charles 1 |CHärlz tʃɑrlz | the name of two kings of England, Scotland, and Ireland. • Charles I (1600 –49 ), son of James I; reigned 1625 –49. His reign was dominated by the deepening religious and constitutional crisis that resulted in the English Civil War 1642 –49. After the battle of Naseby, Charles tried to regain power in alliance with the Scots, but his forces were defeated in 1648; he was tried by a special Parliamentary court and beheaded. • Charles II (1630 –85 ), son of Charles I; reigned 1660 –85. Charles was restored to the throne after the collapse of Oliver Cromwell's regime. Although he displayed considerable adroitness in handling the difficult constitutional situation, religious and political strife continued during his reign.

 

Charles

Charles 2 |tʃɑrlz CHärlz | the name of four kings of Spain. • Charles I (1500 –58 ), son of Philip I; reigned 1516 –56; Holy Roman Emperor (as Charles V ) 1519 –56. His reign was characterized by the struggle against Protestantism in Germany, rebellion in Castile, and war with France 1521 –44. Exhausted by these struggles, Charles handed Naples, the Netherlands, and Spain over to his son Philip II and the imperial Crown to his brother Ferdinand before retiring to a monastery. • Charles II (1661 –1700 ), reigned 1665 –1700. He inherited a kingdom already in a decline that he was unable to halt. His choice of Philip of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV of France, as his successor gave rise to the War of the Spanish Succession. • Charles III (1716 –88 ), reigned 1759 –88. He improved Spain's position as an international power by increasing foreign trade, and he brought a brief cultural and economic revival to Spain. • Charles IV (1748 –1819 ), reigned 1788 –1808. During the Napoleonic Wars he suffered the loss of the Spanish fleet, destroyed along with that of France at Trafalgar in 1805.
