Answer 1

That was very thoughtful of Charles....thanks for the info!

best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Yes, the dog widdled on the block.

Answer 3

Nope actually

Answer 4

If my memory serves me correctly, the last thing that Charles I did before going to his execution was kiss his children.  He also put on a second shirt as it was cold and he didn't want to shiver, appearing to be a coward.

Answer 5

Thanks for this Trivia.  I knew that the Rump Parliament confined Charles to Whitehall before his execution, but I didn't know the details.  The following link notes that Charles took his dog for a walk in St. James' park shortly before he placed his head on the chopping block: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/Cha...

Answer 6

No I didn't know that.  I thought he had a hair cut.

Answer 7

Assuming you're correct, now I do.
