Charles I, King of England and Scotland, was tried in Westminster Hall. On Saturday, 27 January, he was found guilty of having made war on his own people in order to further his own ends.

Three days later, he left St James’s Palace for the last time and walked across the frosty grass of St James’s Park to the Banquetting House in Whitehall. The Banquetting House had been built by Inigo Jones for James I, thirty years before. Now, a hastily assembled scaffold loomed up against the building’s elegant classical façade.

The King’s last act was to make sure his hair was tucked under his cap, so as not to obstruct the single, deadly blow that cut off his head.
