[00:00:00]Imagine executing your own king.

[00:00:02]Then 11 years later, his exiled son sails back to reclaim the throne. In 1649, England shocked the world by beheading King Charles I.

[00:00:11]While his son, Charles II, fled across Europe, a ruthless military leader named Oliver Cromwell seized control, banning Christmas, theaters, and gambling.

[00:00:21]Charles tried everything to save his father. He even sent Parliament a signed blank piece of paper, offering any terms for the king's life. It failed. Years later, Charles invaded England for revenge and lost. After the brutal Battle of Worcester, he escaped capture by hiding inside a hollow oak tree, but then Cromwell died. England grew miserable under harsh military rule, so in 1660, they begged the exiled prince to return. On his 30th birthday, Charles II marched into London in absolute triumph.

[00:00:55]But he never forgot his father.

[00:00:57]For the ultimate revenge, he dug up Oliver Cromwell's corpse, put the dead body on trial for treason, and hanged it from the gallows.
