Title: The execution of the king
Description: It's January 1649 and the most powerful man in England stands before the masses wearing several layers of clothing so as not to shiver in the cold and have the crowd think him a coward as he utters his last regal words before laying his head on the chopping block. He is Charles I, King of England and he will soon breathe his last with the fall of the executioners blade.
