Charles I of England → Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland – This title is more comprehensive and descriptive as it encapsulates Charles I's three kingdoms, without being overly cumbersome. This style is used by some key sources, e.g. the BBC. I note the argument made previously that England was the most prominent of his kingdoms; having "King of England" first will recognise this. McPhail (talk) 10:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:CONCISE. It's also disingenuous to suggest the BBC uses the proposed title when the article you linked to actually says "Charles I was king of England, Scotland and Ireland," which is a far cry from what you are suggesting. -- Calidum 13:38, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NCNOB, which states Where a monarch has reigned over a number of states, use the most commonly associated ordinal and state. For example, Charles II of England, not Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland. Rublov (talk) 17:15, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose there’s a bid difference between saying that Charles I was the king of England, Scotland, and Ireland and saying that he was known as Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Unless multiple sources can be provided that explicitly refer to him by that title it shouldn’t be moved.--70.24.249.16 (talk) 03:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
