The most interesting thing about king charles the first is that he was five feet six inches tall at the start of his reign, but only four foot eight inches tall at the end of it...

Because of...

Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england
Puritan
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
September
Was at first
Only
Mp for huntingdon
But then

He led the ironside cavalry at marston moor in 1644 and won.
Then he founded the new model army
And praise be, beat the cavaliers at nazeby
And the king fled up north like a bat!
To the scots.

But under the terms of john pym's solemn league and covenant, the scots handed king charles the first,
Over to...

Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england
And his warts
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
September
But alas!
Oy vey!
Disagreement then broke out
Between
The presbyterian parliament and the military who meant
To have an independent bent.
And so...the second civil war broke out
And the roundhead ranks
Faced the cavaliers at preston, lancs!
And the king lost again, silly thing
Stupid git

And cromwell send colonel pride to purge the house of commons of the presbyterian royalists, leaving behind only the rump parliament...

Which appointed a high court at westminster hall
To indict charles the first for...
Tyranny
Oooohhh!

Charles was sentenced to death
Even though he refused to accept that the court had...
Jurisdiction
Say goodbye to his head

Poor king charles laid his head on the block
January 1649
Down came the axe, and...

In the silence that followed, the only sound that could be heard, was a solitary giggle,
From...

Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england
Ole
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
September
Then he smashed
Ireland
Set up the commonwealth
And more
He crushed the scots at worcester
And beat the dutch at sea
In 1653 and then
He dissolved the rump parliament
And with lambert's consent
Wrote the instrument of government
Under which oliver was protector at last
The end!
