Although Charles was a very sick, weak child, he was appointed the Duke of Albany in December 1600, and the Duke of York in 1605. Charles was a great student who was overseen by Thomas Murray, but was non comparable to his brilliant older sibling Prince Henry. Charles throughout his life would be handed great power, but faced harsh realities such as corruption, war, violence, and even his own beheading.
