To send a clear message to the fallen monarch, the rebels executed four of the senior officers captured at the castle. Yet still, the king refused to accept he had lost the war. As France and other allies mobilized in support of Charles, a tribunal was hastily gathered and a death sentence was passed. On January 30, 1649, the King of England was executed. This is the account of the fifty-nine regicides, the men who signed Charles I's death warrant. 600 00 $a Charles $b I, $c King of England, $d 1600-1649. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Charles I, 1625-1649. 600 00 $a Charles $b I, $c King of England, $d 1600-1649 $x Death and burial. 650 0 $a Regicides $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Civil War, 1642-1649. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Commonwealth and Protectorate, 1649-1660. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y 1660-1714. 941 $a 2 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014215.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20161223010523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EE7B446C8DD11E68B0E55EDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
