An artist's impression of the execution of Charles I (1600-1649). King of England, Scotland and Ireland. This War Without An Enemy by Richard Ollard, page 201.. When Charles was beheaded on 30 January 1649, a moan was heard from the assembled crowd, some of whom then dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, thus starting the cult of the "Martyr" King. There is some historical debate over the identity of the man who beheaded the King, who was masked at the scene.
