377 years ago today, King Charles I was beheaded by Richard Brandon following an illegal trial that lasted just one week.

Today, we commemorate Charles, King and Martyr, who offered his life in defence of the historic episcopate of the Church of England.

“The modern world gives proof at every point that it is far easier to destroy institutions than to create them. Nevertheless, few people seem to understand this truth.”

In times of war and not before,
God and the soldier we adore.
But in times of peace and all things righted,
God is forgotten and the soldier slighted.
