This week's guest is friend of the show Mark Turnbull who returns to talk about the trial of King Charles I, which began on 20th January 1649. The trial was a sham, but Charles behaved admirably, and with great integrity and nobility.

We talk about the events leading up to the trial, the Rump Parliament, New Model Army, Cromwell and the events of the trial itself.

Part Two, the execution, is coming up on Tuesday.
