Of all the regicides of English monarchs, you chose Charles I?  How dull.  I'd have gone with Edward II.  Having a red hot poker shoved up your butt is definitely a way to go.

As very suggestively depicted in Maurice Druon's The Accursed Kings.

Although there are probably other hereditary tyrants in history who have deserved it more, Maximilian I seems the most deserving of this list.

The fact Maximilian was utterly misguided but somewhat "well meaning" doesn't change the basic fact he was a foreign-imposed tyrant.

Juarez himself sumed up him best: "he knew Mexico only from the map".

Dunno. Some Habsburgs were pretty degenerated.
