‘‘Stout and resolved hearts keep off the storms of Calumny’: John Bradshawe and the aftermath of regicide’

This talk will consider how the legacy of the trial of Charles I affected John Bradshawe, the judge tasked with sentencing the king to death. Denounced by the royalist press variously as a coward, a monster, a traitor, a rogue, and indeed a 17th century Pontius Pilate, there is no doubt that his association with the trial blackened his name – but how did it affect him on a personal level?
