Why did Parliament choose to execute Charles Stuart?
A resistance force led by Oliver Cromwell opposed King Charles I, partly because he was Roman Catholic and they disapproved of the power he had given to the Catholic Church. In addition, he led a wasteful, decadent lifestyle at a time when many Britons starved. In addition, He was a Stuart, and many Cromwell supporters believed that the Stuarts had not come to the throne legitimately. The result of Cromwell's uprising was an English civil war between the Roundheads, a Protestant group led by Cromwell, and the Cavaliers, led by the king. When the Cavaliers were finally defeated, Cromwell gained supreme power over the government and was called the Lord Protector. He was a cruel, ineffective leader. His government condemned the king for treason, and the king was executed.
What is the difference between King's English and Queen's English?
They are the same. While a king reigns, it is the King's English. While a queen reigns, it is the Queen's English------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The monarch of England is sometimes a king and sometimes a queen (at the present time, March 2013, it is Queen Elizabeth II) but the English language does not change; it is the monarch's English. We just use different terms to reflect the identity of the reigning monarch.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The expression "the queen's English" refers to the reigning British monarch. Since English currently has a queen, and has for almost 60 years, the proper expression is "the queen's English."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I suppose when Charles becomes king, the expression might change to "the king's English."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACTUALLY, the expression "The King's English" refers to a title of a book written by the Fowler brothers in 1906, which deals with the English language, its pronunciation, etc. A book's title does not change just because a monarch changes. Therefore, it is "The King's English", regardless of whether the current monarch is male or female.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
