SAMPLE HISTORICAL IDENTIFICATION (ID)
GOOD EXAMPLE
Charles I was an English King who didn’t want to be
limited by Parliament, lost the English Civil War from 16421649, & was executed. Charles I believed in the divine right
of kings & constantly fought with, & dissolved, Parliament
(even after agreeing to sign the Petition of Right). His
followers in the English Civil War were known as Cavaliers,
but were defeated by the Puritan Roundheads led by Oliver
Cromwell.
He is historically significant because he was the first king
in European history to be placed on trial by his people, found
guilty, & executed. After his death, the monarchy was
abolished & England became a republic, then a dictatorship.
Charles I’s death shows the power of Parliament in England &
that they would not accept a monarch that did not accept limits
on their power. Today …
BAD EXAMPLE
Charles was a king who lost a war & got killed. This
happened in the 1700s. He didn’t like people telling him what
to do. He’s important because he was a king & had a lot of
power & got his head chopped off.
