VII. The Execution of Charles I
Detail
THE EXECUTION OF CHARLES I: Milton states in The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, in words that sound almost Jeffersonian: “all men naturally were born free,” “born to command and not to obey.” These are part of a strenuous and profound defense of popular sovereignty, the right of a private person to overthrow both parliament (or magistrate) and king. After a protracted stalemate, English political history experienced a sudden succession of upheavals: the forceful exclusion of the army of the majority of Parliament, called “Pride’s Purge” of Parliament in December 6, 1648; the decision by the new “Rump” Parliament to put the king on trial on January 6; and the trial and execution of King Charles I on January 30, 1649. During the trial, January 26-30, Milton began an extraordinary defense of the overthrow of both parliament and king, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, a work published shortly after the king’s death. Milton was then hired by the new government to be their spokesperson and counter-propagandist, and also to be a secretary of foreign languages, which meant communicating in Latin and in other languages to foreign diplomats and politicians.

Name
Milton, Eikonoklastes (London, 1649)
Detail
Milton's iconoclastic book, Eikonoklastes ("Image Smasher") was commissioned by the new English republican government to respond to Eikon Basilike, and it appeared within months of the king's book. When the monarchy was restored in 1660, Milton was arrested and two of his books, Eikonoklastes and Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio, were recalled, banned, and publicly burned.
