How did Charles I rule without Parliament? LISTEN NOW to noted authority Professor Richard Cust worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/podcast/ruling…
Prof. Frank McDonough@FXMC1957

20 January 1649. The trial of Charles I for treason began in the High Court in Westminster Hall, London, established by the “Rump Parliament”. Charles refused to recognise the legality of the court on the grounds that a king could not be tried by any “superior jurisdiction”.
