In 1642, King Charles I broke into the House of Commons with armed men to arrest five of it's members. After all was said and done, the House overruled Charles I that he had no right to do so. After that a tradition started that no monarch may step foot in the House of Commons. Which stands to this day.

Awesome! So the Queen of England can't even take a tour of it!! I love that!!
Sounds good to me, the so called royalty idiots should mind their own business.
That really is a cool story.
Was he the Charles who was executed and replaced by Cromwell?
Or am I thinking of someone else?
It's so hard to keep all my Charles' straight.
Nice slippers, though. Apparently, he was the 17th Century's version of Hugh Hefner.
