The trial of Charles I

4 Read the text and answer the questions.

One of the most famous trials in English history is the trial of King Charles I in 1649. After a bloody civil war, the Parliamentary forces, led by Oliver Cromwell, captured and imprisoned the king. Charles I believed he had a God-given right to be King but the parliamentarians did not agree. The king was accused of treason – the crime of trying to destroy a country's government – and was found guilty. The punishment for treason was the death penalty and the king was beheaded on 30th January 1649. England was without a king until the restoration of Charles II in 1660.

In England, the punishment for treason was the death penalty until 1998.
