To send a clear message to the fallen monarch, the rebels executed four of the senior officers captured at the castle. Yet still, the king refused to accept he had lost the war. As France and other allies mobilized in support of Charles, a tribunal was hastily gathered and a death sentence was passed. On January 30, 1649, the King of England was executed. This is the account of the fifty-nine regicides, the men who signed Charles I's death warrant.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.062 Spencer Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.062 Sp Shelving Cart Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.062 Sp Checked In Add Copy to MyList
