Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Regicides: Or the Story of Three of the Judges Who Condemned to the Punishment of Death King Charles I., Of England, Who Was Executed January 30, 1649 We have been able to discover no details of that sad 'de parture. Whalley was at the time an old man of between sixty and seventy years. There was probably a wife whom he would see no more. There was also a little boy, a few years old, the child of his old age, besides several children that were grown and mature, and who loved and venerated their father; for he was a highly respectable as well as a deeply pious man. Gofie, too, could not have left his home Without a pang. A lovely and excellent wife clung to him in that last embrace, and little children sorrowed at the going away - they knew not where - of their fond father.

Book Synopsis Charles I's Killers in America by : Matthew Jenkinson
Download or read book Charles I's Killers in America written by Matthew Jenkinson. This book was released on 2019-06-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the British monarchy was restored in 1660, King Charles II was faced with the conundrum of what to with those who had been involved in the execution of his father eleven years earlier. Facing a grisly fate at the gallows, some of the men who had signed Charles I's death warrant fled to America. Charles I's Killers in America traces the gripping story of two of these men-Edward Whalley and William Goffe-and their lives in America, from their welcome in New England until their deaths there. With fascinating insights into the governance of the American colonies in the seventeenth century, and how a network of colonists protected the regicides, Matthew Jenkinson overturns the enduring theory that Charles II unrelentingly sought revenge for the murder of his father. Charles I's Killers in America also illuminates the regicides' afterlives, with conclusions that have far-reaching implications for our understanding of Anglo-American political and cultural relations. Novels, histories, poems, plays, paintings, and illustrations featuring the fugitives were created against the backdrop of America's revolutionary strides towards independence and its forging of a distinctive national identity. The history of the 'king-killers' was distorted and embellished as they were presented as folk heroes and early champions of liberty, protected by proto-revolutionaries fighting against English tyranny. Jenkinson rewrites this once-ubiquitous and misleading historical orthodoxy, to reveal a far more subtle and compelling picture of the regicides on the run.
