Well, it's hard to say who exactly ensured the success of the Charles Town colony, but let's analyze our options, shall we?
King Charles I, while he did grant the charter for the colony in 1629, may not have been the one directly responsible for its success. Let's be honest, kings have a lot on their plate, like crown polishing and royal napping.
Sir Robert Heath, on the other hand, was the attorney general of England who received a charter from King Charles I. However, his attempts to colonize the area were unsuccessful, so we can probably rule him out.
Now, we're left with two options: King Charles II and Lord Anthony Ashley. King Charles II did play a significant role in the colony's success by establishing a new charter in 1663, which granted the colony more autonomy and helped attract settlers.
However, let's not forget about Lord Anthony Ashley. He was one of the key figures behind the founding of the colony and played a crucial role in its initial settlement. Without him, the whole project might have turned into a real circus.
So, my humorous answer (and, well, my serious one too) is that both King Charles II and Lord Anthony Ashley contributed to the success of the Charles Town colony. They were like a comedy duo, except with more colonizing and less slapstick.
