Charles I seems the most justified.

Although there are probably other hereditary tyrants in history who have deserved it more, Maximilian I seems the most deserving of this list. While the other three probably committed more than their fair share of crimes during their respective rules (good monarchs are not usually subject to violent revolution), I dislike the idea of being on the same side as Levellers, Jacobins, or Bolsheviks.

Pretty sure the Levellers were classically liberal republicans unless you mean the Diggers.

Education, get yourself one.

I mean classically liberal in the broader Lockean/Whiggish sense, not the way libertarians mean it.
