  Charles I, king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Charles governed without Parliament for 11 years after 1629, which were marked by popular opposition to strict enforcement of the practices of the Established Church by Archbishop William Laud and to the ingenious if disingenuous devices employed by the government to obtain funds.
Charles professed to accept the revolutionary legislation, though he was known to hold strong views on the divine right of monarchy.
Charles repudiated the charges, and his unsuccessful attempt to seize five opposition leaders of Commons in violation of traditional privilege was the fatal blunder that precipitated war.

 The Execution of Charles I, 1649
His troubles began the moment he ascended the throne in 1625 upon the death of his father James I. Charles simultaneously alienated both his subjects and his Parliament, prompting a series of events that ultimately lead to civil war, his own death and the abolition of the English monarchy.
Charles went to his execution wearing two heavy shirts so that he might not shiver in the cold and appear to be afraid.
The monarchy was restored in 1660 on the eve of Charles' son (Charles II) ascendancy to the throne.

Charles II intended that his father would be reburied with all due pomp, possibly in the tomb of Henry VII at Westminster, but, says Clarendon, the original attendees at the interment either had died or had forgotten exactly where the body of the King lay.
An internal wooden coffin, very much decayed, and the Body, carefully wrapped in cere-cloth, into the folds of which a quantity of unctuous or greasy matter, mixed with resin as it seemed, had been melted, so as to exclude as effectually as possible the external air.
The coffin was completely full; and from the tenacity of the cere-cloth, great difficulty was experienced in detaching it successfully from the parts which it enveloped.

 Charles Pelham to Martha Coffin Wright, 12 July 1869
Martha had written her last letter to Charles before the Civil War, in December 1860 (see documents 13, 14, and 15).
I will send you enclosed a copy of an extract from the “Acts of the Legislature” of Texas in regard to changing the name of Charles Ten Eyck to Charles Pelham.[E] He was the most reckless and daring soldier I ever saw.
Considering the strong pro-slavery opinions he expressed to Martha in his prewar letters, it is perhaps surprising that Charles became active as a Republican politician after the war, a position that strained his relations with his brothers and neighbors.

The names of the mummies have not been determined, but the tomb is thought to be that of a middle-class official.
Hawass said the wooden coffins, called anthropoids because they were in the shape of human beings, bore inscriptions dating to the 26th Dynasty, together with a statue of a deity called Petah Sakar.

Bob graduated with a B.S. degree magna cum laude in 1935 at the age of 20, and was awarded the coveted Kenyon Prize in Mathematics and Physics.
This research left him little time for his course work, and he felt it interfered with his study of quantum mechanics, which he took from Eugene Wigner, and with his goal of becoming a theorist.
Gamma rays suffer very little absorption and scattering in space and, as Bob pointed out, they travel in straight lines and thus reveal their sources, in contrast to cosmic rays, which, being charged particles, are deflected by magnetic fields or scattered by interstellar dust.
