Society of Charles, King and Martyr
The Society of Charles, King and Martyr commemorates the martyrdom of Charles I, King of England, Ireland, and Scotland.
St. Charles refused to resign both his faith in the historic apostolic order, as established by Christ Himself, and the authority of his Bishops. He was martyred by public execution on 30 January 1649. During the Commonwealth that followed, Anglicanism and the Book of Common Prayer were suppressed. St. Charles is honored for his piety, his protection and patronage of the Church, and his martyrdom.
