How does the history of Prince Rupert tie into his history with the rule of the Roman Empire and king Wenceslas of the Bohemians?

seems Charley-boy wasn't too fond of the Magna-carta ,allowing foreign troops on English soil. I knew about the Irish, but didnt know about the Dutch, which being a Republic, is confusing, why would they side with a popish king ?

Charles I wasn't roman Catholic.

@@sidneyadnopoz3427 Charles 2nd converted to RC on his death bed, as for Charly Mk 1, his actions spoke louder than words, going to war over a prayer book, blocking all attempts at Reformation, he WAS TRUE PAPIST AT HEART !

[@allthatjazz641]

@@Highice007 you been reading too many royalist books dude, Cromwell's word was his bond, while every promise by both Charles 1 & 2 were good only as toilet paper, just like their divine right claim.
