| Summary |
The story of the three Regicides (King killerse) John Dixwell, Edward Whalley, and Whalley's son-in-law William Goffe is a matter of historical record. They were among 59 judges or regicides who condemned King Charles I of England to die on a charge of high treason. Among his transgressions, Charles I chose to ignore the Magna Carta, which gave the power of taxation to Parliament, and tried to rule England by not calling Parliament into session. Instead, he tried to levy his own taxes to fund the wars he was fighting. |
