I hope the next ones take a lot longer than a guillotine. The quick end after a privileged life of intentionally causing suffering isn't sufficient. They need to be utterly terrified of what will happen when justice is dispensed.

Seems fair.

Yeah, now ask what immediately followed his reign.

Oliver Cromwell.....

Yup.

The Lord Protector.....

This is king donald 1st...stay tuned.

Some kids don't play well with others.

What took ‘em so long?

The English Civil War.....

Sounds a bit like someone we know.....

I am actually descended from one of the regicides: a point of enormous pride for my family down thru the ages.

How did you know that....

Many of the regicides fled to Connecticut after the restoration. We have our family records and have always known our descent lines. Altho’ my sister is the absolute expert on the family history and holds family letters/wills/marriage certs etc in boxes in her house.

So your decendant was one of the 59 commissioner's who signed the warrant for the execution of Charles the 1st.... wow...

I love a story with a happy ending…

😅

Without waiting 11 years, let’s repeat this history - please!

It took eleven years because we had a civil war about it...

Now I have an image in my head that I can’t get out!

food for thought

What, he didn't have his own sycophantic party in parliament? Amateur! bsky.app/profile/nort...

That last part. Please.

I love that story.
