SKCM commemorates the martyrdom of Charles Stuart, first of the name, of England, Ireland and Scotland, King; and of France and Jerusalem also, by whose death the Communion was preserved from forces Puritan, intent of its destruction. St. Charles refused to resign both his faith in the order apostolic, as established by Christ Himself, and the authority of his bishops to the Puritan Roundheads, led by Oliver Cromwell, the sometime (and illegal) Lord Protector. The Roundheads committed regicide against the blessed Charles on 30 January 1649 outside the Banqueting House of Whitehall Palace. Immediately upon the Restoration of Church and King on 29 May 1660, the Convocation of Canterbury and York, now being free to assemble and act, canonised King Charles and added his name to the Kalendar of Saints at the revision of The Prayer Book. S. Charles is honoured for his strong personal piety, for his protection and patronage of the Church, and his martyrdom.
