CHARLES I’s EXECUTIONERS Regicide and the Republic

This book focuses on the 59 men who signed Charles I’s death warrant on 30th January 1649 and their fate during the Restoration.Nineteen had already died, so the trials that began in October 1660 could do little but order the confiscation of their property. James Duke of York was a major beneficiary. Nine regicides were subject to the full penalties of treason, being hung, drawn and quartered., two died in custody before being executed. Others who were tried faced a range of prison sentences.
