A seventeenth century engraving of Charles looking to the right, draped in his cloak and holding a night-cap in his right hand. In the top left corner of the image is a small depiction of the scaffold surrounded by soldiers, upon which can be seen Bishop Juxon and the headsman with his ax raised. Above the scaffold is written 'O horrible Murder'. The image is captioned below: 'A Cursed Chrge is drawn, a day is set, The silent Lamb is brought, the Wolves are met; And where's the Slughterhouse? Whitehall must be, Lately his Palace, now his Calvary. And now, ye Senators, is this the thing, So oft declared, Is this your glorious King? Religion veils her self; and Mourns that She, Is forced to own such Horrid Villany.'

His webſite is the unoﬃcial online ſhrine to Saint Charles Stuart, King and Martyr. St. Charles was martyred on 30 January, 1649 for his defence of the Engliſh Church's apoſtolick order. Becauſe of his ſelﬂeſſe ſacriﬁce, the Church of England—and all Anglicaniſm as a reſult—remaineth a true bough of the one, holy, catholick, and apoſtolick Church. Charles is alſo remembered and venerated for his perſonal pietie and his ſincere, loving devotion to his wife and children.
