Royalists win The English Civil War.

Royalists win The English Civil War, King Charles I victorious!.

Cromwell, Fairfax, Lilbourne and other traitors hung, drawn and quatured at Tyburn!, there head to be placed on London Bridge!.

So the King gets his "Devine Right of Kings", but does it lead to an evan bloodier style Revolution?.
 
How do the Royalists win? Do they just win outright? Does the King succeed in gaining Scottish support, instead of having them turn him over to Cromwell? Did the war simply lose Parliamentary support and the Royalists win through a negotiated peace in the King's favor?

The results of a Royalist victory in the Civil War really do depend quite strongly on the PoD. It could result in a (fairly unlikely) totally absolute monarchy, but more likely would result in simply a stronger monarchy within the extant system; Parliament's grievances weren't just that particular set of men, they represented a broad range of the English population's disgruntlement with the King, and those sentiments don't vanish because he seized London and killed Parliament's leaders.
 
You'll need some substantial changes, like a different monarch instead of one who embraced men like Digby who told him whatever nonsense which seemed pleasing while rejecting common sense from men like Rupert(his own kinsman).
