King Charles II of England (1660-1685‪)‬

Charles I had a lot more power than British Kings and Queens have today. It is because of Charles I’s misuse of that power that made Parliament demand that Kings and Queens have very little actual power to make laws. Charles was called “Tyrant” because he disbanded Parliament and ruled England, Ireland and Scotland single-handedly for eleven years. He did such a bad job that civil war broke out.
