Discovery of the attempted escape of Charles I from Carisbrook. By April 1646 the Civil War had turned decisively against the Royalists and in favour of Parliament, and Charles surrendered to Scottish Presbyterian forces at Newark. The Scots eventually turned Charles over to the English Parliament in 1647 and he was imprisoned in a series of locations, finally at Carisbrook Castle on the Isle of Wight. From Carisbrook, Charles continued to try to negotiate with anyone who would listen to him, eventually agreeing with the Scots that if they moved their support to him, he would allow the establishment of Scottish-style Presbyterianism in England. On 2 January 1649 Charles was put on trial for high treason and other high crimes and beheaded on 30 January thereafter. 固opFoto
