Description

The Trial of Charles I is one of the most startling — perhaps the most startling — event of English history. It certainly astounded all Europe in 1649. ‘The most horrible and detestable parricide ever committed by Christians’ — in words such as these it was almost everywhere condemned. Only in some of the Swiss Protestant cantons does there seem to have been a favourable reception to the event.
