  3. #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"
