Question

What happend at king charles I execution?

Answer 1

Hi

He had his head severed from his body! the only other slightly strange thing at his execution was he wore 2 undershirts because it was cold and didn't want people see him shiver in case they thought it was out of fear.

Not quite sure what you mean by the question, IE "what  caused parliament to execute him?" or "why was he executed?"

Take care

Answer 2

30th January 1649 they toke him to a courtyard and in full view of the public he was executed by decapitation by axe. He wore two shirts that day so  he would not shiver and the crowd would not mistake the shivering to fear. His last words were "We shall go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown, where no disturbance can be."

Answer 3

He lost his head!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

"That thence the Royal Actor born

The Tragick Scaffold might adorn:

While round the armed Bands

Did clap their bloody hands.

He nothing common did or mean

Upon that memorable Scene:

But with his keener Eye

The Axes edge did try:

Nor call'd the Gods with vulgar spight

To vindicate his helpless Right,

But bow'd his comely Head,

Down as upon a Bed

This was that memorable Hour

Which first assur'd the forced Pow'r."

From Andrew Marvell's "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwel's Return from Ireland"

Charles was beheaded Tuesday, 30 January 1649.  Reputedly, he wore two cotton shirts to prevent any shivers that might be mistaken for fear or weakness.  Supposedly, he also walked his dog shortly before the execution.  

Charles put his head on the block after saying a prayer and signalling the executioner that he was ready before delivering his parting words: "We shall go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown, where no disturbance can be."

Some spectators dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood.  His head was exhibited as was customary with state executions of those of royal birth, but the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, allowed his head to be sewn back on his body.  Charles was privately buried 7 February 1649 in Henry VIII's vault at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.  He is a martyr saint of the Anglican Church.
