Name
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
Charles I, Eikon Basilike (London, 1648)
Detail
Eikon Basilike ("The King's Image") was a brilliantly effective piece of posthumous royal propaganda. Supposedly written by the king (though actually by a ghost writer), the book appeared within days of the execution. In spite of many efforts to suppress it and other anti-regicide works, the book went through over thirty editions in its first year alone -- the largest single printing effort England had ever seen. Looking back over a decade later, the ghostwriter of Eikon Basilike, John Gauden, remarked that when the book "came out, just upon the King's death, good God! What shame, rage, and despite filled his murderers! What comfort his friends! How many enemies did it convert! How many hearts did it mollify and melt!...In a word, it was an army and did vanquish more than any sword could!" The Rutgers copy contains a popular foldout picture of the king in prayer.
