Years: 1648 - 1659
The year 1648 sees the collapse of Stuart power.
The trial and execution of Charles I by the English Parliament in 1649 begins eleven years of republican government known as the English Interregnum.
Scotland initially recognizes the late King's son, also called Charles, as their monarch, before being subjugated and forced to enter Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth by General Monck's occupying army.
The principal members of the House of Stuart live in exile in mainland Europe during this period.
