Executions: Charles I Vest

Описание к видео Executions: Charles I Vest

On the 30 January in 1649, King Charles I was executed for treason – marking the first state execution of a monarch in England’s history.
Now as we know... January tends to be bitterly cold and it is for this reason that we believe a special silk vest was commissioned, to help prevent the King from shivering and appearing afraid in his last moments as he himself declared "I fear not death."
Curator Meriel Jeater shares the story of the journey that led to the King’s execution, a closer look at the vest it’s thought that he wore and the aftermath in our latest Executions short film.
