Description
Vintage engraving print depicting the trial of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, in Westminster Hall in 1641. Wentworth (1593 - 1641) was an English statesman and a major figure in the period leading up to the English Civil War. He served in Parliament, became a supporter of King Charles I and from 1632 - 1639 imposed a harsh rule as Lord Deputy of Ireland. He was recalled to England in late 1639 and became a leading advisor to the King, attempting to strengthen the royal position against Parliament. He was impeached by Parliament for "high misdemeanours" and his trial opened on March 22 1641 but defended himself so ably that his opponents had a bill of attainder passed in April / May condemning him to death - essentially a mechanism which allows Parliament to decree that an accused person is guilty of treason without actually proving it in law. The king reluctantly signed his death warrant and Wentworth was beheaded on Tower Hill on May 12 1641. Engraving circa 1842 by James Scott, based on a painting by William Fisk.
