On this day King Charles I of England marched into parliament with an army of about 400 soldiers. He was convinced that five of the politicians in the House of Commons were the ringleaders of unrest in London whose intention was to incite widespread riots against the king’s authority. The five politicians were not present when he arrived and Charles was forced to leave, but later in the year he declared war on Parliament. It was the start of the English Civil War between the Cavaliers (monarchici) and the Roundheads (parlamentari). Charles lost the war and was tried for high treason, found guilty, and beheaded.
