I’m in the middle of reading “Killers of the King” by Charles Spencer. Given your numerous mentions of being a “team smallfork 4 life” kinda guy, I’m really curious about your thoughts concerning the English Civil Wars, Charles I and the men who executed him. Do you think they should have put him through a standard trial with judge, jury, lawyers, etc? Do you feel that they set an important precedent for the future of human rights?

Charles wouldn’t have recognized any court, so I think it’s a push. 

To me, the far bigger issue is refusing the Agreement of the People, which would have given the Republic a strong popular base of support instead of relying almost entirely on the person of Oliver Cromwell.
