The Burial, Grave and Mausoleum of King Charles I
King Charles I was buried in St George's Chapel Windsor following his execution in January of 1649. In this video using the primary sources, I look at the circumstances of his burial. I then look at the plans from the 1670s to erect a mausoleum to the late king, before an account of the opening of his coffin in 1813.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
