In 1648 what crime does the parliament accuse Charles of?
I think for taking over the church and making it Catholic
Nope -- Anna? Sara?
Here's part of an article from Wikipedia about Charles I:
"It was now felt that by provoking the second Civil War even while defeated and in captivity, Charles showed himself incorrigible, dishonourable, and responsible for unjustifiable bloodshed.
. . .
His trial on charges of high treason and "other high crimes" began on 20 January 1649, but Charles refused to enter a plea, claiming that no court had jurisdiction over a monarch."
In order to determine what crime Parliament accused Charles of in 1648, we need to look at historical events and sources from that time period. One of the key events in the relationship between Charles I and Parliament during this period is the English Civil War.
The English Civil War, also known as the Puritan Revolution, took place from 1642 to 1651 and was fought between the supporters of King Charles I (known as Royalists or Cavaliers) and the Parliamentarians (known as Roundheads). Charles I was the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland and his rule was marked by disputes with Parliament over power and governance.
In 1648, the war was ongoing, and Charles I was a prisoner of the Parliamentarians after being defeated in battle. During this time, there were further conflicts between Parliament and the King, leading to his trial and execution in 1649. However, the specific accusation made by Parliament against Charles I in 1648 may vary depending on the context and source.
One of the main charges against Charles I was that he had acted as a "tyrant" and had tried to rule without Parliament's consent, disregarding the rights of the people and violating the constitution. Parliament accused him of multiple offenses, including treason, conspiracy against the state, and inciting the English Civil War. These accusations were part of the justification for putting him on trial and ultimately executing him.
To obtain more specific information about the exact accusation made by Parliament in 1648 and the events leading up to Charles I's trial and execution, I suggest referring to historical texts, documents, or scholarly articles. These can provide a comprehensive account of the events, arguments, and political climate during this crucial period in English history.
