Monarchy Absolutism and Constitutionalism?

Charles the first tried to restore an absolute monarchy to Britain, though his father had accepted the role of parliament (it had a very small role compared to today but the king could not raise taxes with out parliament). Charles the first tried to ignore parliament, dissolving it when it wouldn't do what he wanted and even trying to arrest members when they opposed him. This led to him being beheaded by the parliamentarians, though it must be admitted there was a religious aspect to this as well. After the death of Cromwell Charles the second (son of Charles I) became king. He accepted the role of parliament, even though its powers had increased. The next king was James the Second brother of Charles II). He once again had ideas of re-introducing the Catholic faith and along with this, the divine right of kings. He was removed in what is called the 'Glorious Revolution' because no one lost their life and William of Orange and his wife Mary (sister of Charles II and James II) became king and Queen. Once again parliament increased their powers and this was the beginning of a constitutional monarchy as we know it today.
