Charles was brought to court by armed soldiers. There were meant to be 135 judges but only 67 turned up
Charles Stuart King of England waged a war against Parliament. He renewed the war again. He is thus responsible for all the deaths and damage during these wars. This leaves him a tyrant traitor and murderer of England.
I want to know by what authority, Lawful, i am called here. Remember i am your lawful king. I have a trust committed to me by god. I will betray it to answer a new un-lawful authority
Seventy judges appeared on the second day. At one point, Charles and Bradshaw appeared to argue with each other
Confess or deny the charge.
By the authority of the Parliament of England
This is not to be debated by you.
It is not for prisoners to discuss.
Take him away.
I deny that! Show me one precedent.
The Parliament is not a court of law.
By what authority do you sit?
I am not an ordinary prisoner.
Seventy one judges turned up on day 3. Charles once again refused to plead.
Take him away.
How I came here i know not, there is no law to make your king your prisoner.
Charles was taken away and had only been there three minutes.
Firstly, the King cannot be tried by any court and secondly, no man should be tried in this court
Things weren't going as Parliament and Cromwell hoped. Algernon Sidney a leading judge who refused to take part said this publicly.
Seventy one judges turned up on day 3. Charles once again refused to plead.
