I am fascinated with this presentation. My ancestor was Sir Francis Hacker who was Cromwell's general and signed the death sentence for King Charles I. Once the Monarchy was restored, he was tried and hanged for his part in the execution of Charles and all his wealth and holdings taken and his family tossed out into the streets. On of his sons arrived in Virginia on a prisoner ship and worked out his indenturement before his family moved on to the rough frontier of Appalachia. They settled in a remote area of what is now Hacker's Creek, West Virginia, in Upshur County.

Just because your DNA makes you black or a woman or otherwise different does not mean you can not hold a state role or that you are entitled to hold state roles by birth right. A democratic process of selection is INCOMPATIBLE with the idea of selection based on DNA.

No, Charles I just entered the House of Commons and tried to arrest five members of Parliament on his own issued royal warrants for treason. The five of which had gotten advance notice of the King's coming and fled the cope. His actions are the reason why monarchs now no longer enter the House of Commons for any reason what so ever. Monarchs now send Black Rod over to summon them anytime they give the speech from the throne in the House of Peers. Black Rod has the door slammed in their face to symbolize the Commons' independence from the crown and has to knock three times using their staff to request admittance. Or Parliament holds a joint session in Westminster Hall instead. I'd suggest you watch the many prior State Opening of Parliament videos posted on here.

Charles the first was perhaps the most unlucky British king in the last five hundred years, a vain man who came up against a nasty cold, cruel fanatic called Cromwell, who is still hated in Ireland and should be more dispised than he is. Cromwell was a far more tyrannical man than Charles. In the end Charles's trail was a fit up and in the end Cromwell, dissolved Parliament too. When Charles the second took the throne, Cromwell's body was dug up and the corpse's head was cut off.

@DemonCuz

A small bit of information I believe now can be revealed is where the crown was safely hidden from Cromwell during this dark period. While looting the crown jewels and all the other treasures, Cromwell was so spooked when confronted with the ancient and most important holy object on earth, St Edwards Crown, he ordered the Archbishop to take and destroy it. In one of the most secret and perhaps most moving acts performed, the Archbishop with the aid of "other being", opened the tomb of King Charles and placed the crown on the now reattached head of the murdered King. Nearly all history books will dispute this claiming the crown was destroyed and melted down. Even members of the Royal Family believe the crown to be a 17th century reproduction. I can prove this is not the case. All one needs to do is read the very detailed bill presented to the Palace of Westminster from the goldsmith guild commissioned to reproduce the crown jewels. Every tiny detail and cost for every piece reproduced is listed in a manner one would expect of such a historic and important document. The most important object, the crown itself, its weight in gold, and its adorned jewels are not even mentioned. The only reference to St Edwards Crown are the four new golden support arches with the cross of Christ in dominion on the golden orb of earth created 'FOR' the St Edwards Crown. (exactly as it is today). This document is still available today for public viewing.

I would consider Charles as the more benign figure, even though he was pig-headed and extremely keen to extend his power into absolutism.

The worst failure in all this was Parliament that never lived up the ambition of some of its members even when Charles was removed from power.

A pivotal point in British history, perhaps even more more so in the history of America. The men whole rebelled against George the third were grandchildren of the men who left England during the fifty years following Charles' reign and they set up a government with an elected, secular sovereign or head of state. An American was executed for regicide when Charles the second came to the throne and that fact and the subsequent history remains a largely ignored area of scholarship on both sides of the Atlantic.

I looked on my genealogy chart, and there isn’t hardly any to speak of, the last being Catherine of Aragon, who obviously had nothing to do with the Stuart’s as far as bloodline is concerned. I guess maybe the painters wanted them to have “strong chins”, or it was the clothes! But thanks for pointing it out😉.

"Think it, dream it, do it" - Charles I

I love this whole presentation! Very stylish.

Cromwell didn’t fare any better. He was vain enough to think he could be a king and the revolution he unleashed eventually consumed him. As history often shows us. Charles wasn’t on his own in his belief in the divine right if kings, this was common currency right across Europe. Look no further than Louis XIV of France, who probably took this belief to it’s most extreme conclusion.

Cromwell was successful. He ruled, he lived, and he died a natural death in office. It was his son that balls it up by being ineffectual and with no presence; that let slip his father's gains. If he had been as strong and with intelligence as his father then Britain may still have been a republic. Cromwell also ensured that if a monarchy returned it was only ever going to be a constitutional one.

Julian Coulden What do you mean he didn’t fare any better? You do know Cromwell wasn’t executed, right? Crowell did nothing wrong, bitches. He was quite a merciful man. He could have been a bloodthirsty French revolutionary, but he was a merciful man. Cromwell never wanted to be a king! And he is no fanatic like he is often portrayed. And it was parliament that banned Christmas and theatre, not fucking Cromwell!

Why is KZread algorithm recommending this right now? Is KZread trying to tell us something? 🤔

Charles clearly had his flaws, but he went fucking hard at his execution. It's pretty admirable. Also, this is really by far the best documentary about his execution I've seen, but I do wish they'd included that moment in court where he hit a guy with his cane, the top popped off, and as nobody else would retrieve it for him, he had to bend down and get it himself. It was really, incredibly symbolic, given the circumstances.

WOW :o That was something else! I watch a LOT of history docos but this lil 15min one was honestly like a beautiful film as well as an excellent doco, & so powerful to watch. I've never seen anything like it, but I love it!

Based Eagle That’s not true. Henry VIII was a brutal tyrant, and by the end of his reign, he had completely stolen any form of power from the people, and given himself the right to do whatever he wanted, to anyone he wanted. He didn’t care a jot about the Magna Carta or citizen’s rights.

Awesome video, great presentation. !

Thank you for your Beautiful presentation. This was indeed an important part of the history of England. What a great example of how important it is to be willing to compromise.

Fantastic video. Enjoyed watching and learning :) Would love to see more of these.

Good steady ie not rushed presentation, also good vocal style. Hope we can look forward to similarly well-balanced analyses of Charles II, James II, the Duke of Monmouth, both Lords Protector Oliver and Richard ( especially the latter...).

Bravo! Dope storytelling my guy!

I'm reminded of Malcom's line in Macbeth about the execution of the original Thane of Cawdor for treason "But I have spoke with one that saw him die, who did report. That very frankly he confessed his treasons. Implored your Highness’ pardon, and set forth a deep repentance. Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it."

It was my privilege to see the movie"Cromwell"aboard a Pan Am 747 enroute to Paris. It described the trial and execution of Charles I. A sobering depiction of that episode in history.

Wonderfully put together video...bravo!!

Lmao he cant keep getting away with this

i have recently fallen in love with the story of the causes of the english civil war. charles wasnt meant to be king and his inheritance of issues of religion , parliment and even finances from the dynasty before that along with most problems parliment had with him directly attacked those he cared about the most all mixed together into a mixing pot of issues with both him and parliment. The stuart dynasty was incredibly unlucky , and the story of him and his childrens fates , especually Elizibeths , are truly painful. he didnt deserve to die ,nor did anyone caught in the crossfire of parliment and charles .

Great video so well put together and informative. Really captured the emotion of such a pivotal point in British history. More of these on other key turning points relating to monarchs would be fab!

Loving these 15 minute historical videos! This one and the Princes in the tower. Please do more👍

I think it must have given him strength to know he was condemned unjustly. Charles made mistakes, certainly. But his trial was a sham, a kangaroo court. He called himself the martyr of the people, and considering Cromwell's later despotism, was Charles entirely wrong?

Forget what show it was, but after the execution, Cromwell looked at the King's body and remarked, "Brutal necessity."

Seeing how that vermin Cromwell’s remains have been desecrated & Charle’s honour restored, is the answer to that last question.

Absolutely brilliant! Would be a really good vid to show in class!

I grew up in the Kenelm Winslow house In Marshfield, Massachusetts. As near as can be determined, the house was built in 1630 and bought by Kenelm around 1632. I've often wondered what the people living there thought and said about these events - The execution of Charles -The Restoration - The Glorious Revolution - The old Pretender - Bonny Prince Charlie. I do know that many of the towns residents were Tory in outlook during the misunderstandings in the 1760-1774 time period... Even as children, my sister and I would go up to the attic and playact out all the old history. We seemed to be able to transport ourselves back to those times simply by treading on the old floorboards and touching the old beams and windows. It was a magical time and place for us Thank you for reminding me!

If my sister and I looked closely and used a bit of wishful thinking we could see an oval left by the Indian long houses in the fields. Now its all built up. I've never been back on the theory that you can't play a record backwards. I've read that a subsequent owner closed off the stairway to the slave quarters (I mean Attic) and put in a pull-down stairway. If true, I'd simply burst into tears...T he winds are generally Nor'westerly so it would take a while to round the Lizard , clear the Scilly Islands and beat across the Atlantic from London.

I'm pleased I did, but think you're quite right to avoid looking yourself, as one of the things I found said "restored" so it may be too changed for your liking. I agree with you completely that a particular sense of place almost sends us back to the past. For me it's the worn stone steps of chapels, or places like Gwydir Castle (it's an old Tudor manor really) here in Wales, that have that quality. Thanks for sharing some of the wonder of your childhood spent in those historic rooms. All the best.

The intro from 0:00 to 1:46 is just breathtaking, I love the music and beat. Was enthralled and watched through to the end. Love the production, a masterful retelling of King Charles' execution. Growing up I always allied myself with the Roundheads, I am Protestant, so believed this was right. However, Having heard all of the evils comitted by Cromwell, if I were there now, I would have taken up arms as a cavalier.
