On 21 January 1649, England crossed a line it had never crossed before.
In this episode of the Detecting History Podcast, we explore the trial and execution of Charles I, one of the most shocking events in British history, and the role played by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War.
Charles I believed in the divine right of kings and refused to accept limits on his authority. Parliament disagreed. Years of political tension and civil war followed, leading to an unprecedented moment where a reigning monarch was put on trial for treason against his own people.
We look at:
Why Charles I was tried and executed
The breakdown between Charles I and Oliver Cromwell
The role of the New Model Army
Why executing a king changed British history forever
How this moment reshaped the balance of power between monarchy and Parliament
This episode forms part of our This Week in British History midweek series and follows last week’s episode on the coronation of Elizabeth I, showing the two extremes of royal power.
