And Charles I reads as Charles the first?
Context:
Charles II's father King Charles I was executed at Whitehall on 30 January 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War. Although the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II King of Great Britain and Ireland in Edinburgh on 6 February 1649, the English Parliament instead passed a statute that made any such proclamation in England and Ireland unlawful.
@oristarA,
And George III (the third) was king of England in 1776.
The present Queen of England (Elizabeth) is Elizabeth II.
