Charles fought their armies during the English Civil War (1642-45) and was ultimately defeated. He surrendered but refused to accept his captors demands for a constitutional monarchy. Charles escaped and the Royalists rose in May 1648, igniting the Second Civil War. By August Parliaments New Model Army put down the uprising making a return to mediation Charless only recourse. Parliament voted to continue negotiations but Oliver Cromwell and the army opposed any further talks with a "bloody tyrant." In January 1649 Charles was tried for high treason, convicted, and beheaded.
