Description:This biographical history of the English Civil War profiles the lives and ultimate fates of the nearly 60 men who sentenced their king to death.On January 30th, 1649, King Charles I was executed on a scaffold outside the Banqueting House of Whitehall. The parliamentarian High Court of Justice declared him guilty of treason, disregarding the Divine Right of Kings. Fifty-nine commissioners signed his death warrant.

Some pleaded for mercy, many went into hiding or fled abroad, while others stoically awaited their sentence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
