    RCIN 405913

    Charles I is shown at his trial in the Palace of Westminster in January 1649. Accused of being a ‘tyrant, traitor, murderer’, the king refused to co-operate, or acknowledge the legitimacy of the court. He was found guilty and executed on 30 January. Edward Bower depicts the king sympathetically and conveys his sense of dignity.
