The execution of King Charles I. Victim of the Great Rebellion. The trial of the monarch and his death. 1647-1649

This book by English historian S. V. Wedgwood about the end of Charles I's reign tells the most dramatic events in the history of 17th century England — the trial of the king and his execution, which followed as a... result of the puritan army's seizure of power under the command of Oliver Cromwell. The author depicts the confrontation between royal and parliamentary authority in court, the political clash of the monarch's fanatical conviction in his own rightness, and the rebels' struggle for the English people, which led to the only solution to restore peace on the British Isles — to behead Charles.
