@tribetng ,

Yes,it stopped just before Dimbleby explained that fact! I guess it wasn't as rare a situation as might be presumed,for families to be divided by the Civil war.

What you don't get in this clip is those two brothers died on opposing sides.

Wonderful program. But, it looks like satin to me, not silk. (Someone once said the French Revolution was the end of satin for men.)

Wonderful portraits indeed........After Van Dykes death and the King moved to Oxford Dobson painted many great portraits of the Cavaliers.

Charles was magnificent at his trial......refusing to recognise the validity of the court.

No ordinary prisoner indeed.

The English were quite fond of beheading's back in those day.I'm certain they all believed then that beheading was the kindest way to execute someone.Though now they realize that the human head can actually live as long as 8 minutes severed from the body.Just imagine how frightening a prospect that it was for the poor soul's that lost they're head's and went through the agony of watching their bodies being hauled off the scaffold. Horrifying.I feel most for Her Majesty Queen Anne Boleyn.Innocent
