11 October 1660 – 17 October 1660

The regicides who sat on the life of our late King, were brought to trial in the Old Bailey, before a commission of oyer and terminer.

Axtall, Carew, Clement, Hacker, Hewson, and Peters, were executed.

I kissed the Queen-Mother's hand.

Scot, Scroop, Cook, and Jones, suffered for reward of their iniquities at Charing Cross, in sight of the place where they put to death their natural prince, and in the presence of the King his son, whom they also sought to kill. I saw not their execution, but met their quarters, mangled, and cut, and reeking, as they were brought from the gallows in baskets on the hurdle. Oh, the miraculous providence of God!
