  1. Charles I in Three Positions -- Anthony van Dyck -- Oil on canvas - 1635/6 -- The King's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Scotland.

    Neither monster nor martyr, but a flawed character doomed in his attempt to rule three divergent and strife filled kingdoms and overwhelmed by the larger social forces transforming Britain and the world.

    Wonderful painting used by Bernini as a reference for his (sadly destroyed) portrait bust.

  18. #JamesUssher witnessed the prelude to the execution of #CharlesI from the roof of the house where he was staying.

    "when his
    Majesty had done speaking, and had pulled off his cloak
    and doublet, and stood stripped in his waistcoat, and that
    the villains in vizards began to put up his hair, the good
    Bishop no longer able to endure so dismal a sight, and being
    full of grief and horror for that most wicked fact now ready
    to be executed, grew pale and began to faint"
