Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland, but after his father inherited the English throne in 1603, he moved to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life.

He believed in the divine right of kings and was determined to govern according ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Matriculate
Matriculation is the formal process of entering a university, or of becoming eligible to enter by fulfilling certain academic requirements such as a matriculation examination. Australia In Australia, the term ''matriculation'' is seldom used now.
