What Part Did Oliver Cromwell Play In The Execution Of King Charles?

The execution of King Charles I of Stuart England on charges of treason was the most controversial event in the history of England. A Dutch lawyer, Isaac Dorislaus, was appointed to write the order that set up the court that was to try Charles.

Charles I was a tyrant and it was after his death that the Stuart dynasty stopped ruling England for a period of eleven years. On January 1, 1649, Oliver Cromwell, who by then had become so powerful in England that he only allowed people who supported the king's trial to attend the trial in the court, signed the death warrant that ended the reign of the Stuart dynasty until 1660. However, once the trial proceedings began, of Cromwell's 46 supporters, only 26 eventually voted in favour of trying Charles I. Cromwell became the de facto ruler and founder chairman of the then newly set up Council of State of England. Charles I's son, Charles II, who succeeded his father, accused Cromwell and his supporters of regicide (the murder of a king), and tried and executed them.     

I think he just wanted to kill him for the fun of watching the execution

He had a big part to play in the execution of the king. He raised and army and sent them to capture all the MP that didnt want the king to be executed
